CATCHMENT AREA FROM APRIL, MAY AND JUNE 2023.
INTRODUCTION
Routine immunization and follow up of postnatal mothers /missed opportunities are
government programme which is offered at various health facilities and community
outreach sites. Supplementary immunization activities are also organized and
conducted periodically to interrupt disease transmission and spread by boosting
population immunity. All vaccines provided by UNEPI are safe, potent and these
programs target the following categories of people;
 All children age 0-1 year of age who are due for routine immunization or who
missed opportunity.
 All children from age six to fifty-nine months to get vitamin A
supplementation.
 All children from age 1-14 years to get dewoming tablets.
 Pregnant mothers to get Td vaccination.
 Mothers of child bearing age also to get Td vaccination.
 10 years old girls to get HPV vaccination.
This programme targets static sessions, outreaches, schools, markets, worship
places and any other places where children could be found.
The health facility always has routine immunization schedules conducted at least 4
or even five times every month and once or twice in every week of the months.
ACTIVITY OBJECTIVES

To increase DPT1 access to 90% and to reduce dropout rate of DPT1-DPT3 and
DPT1-MEASLES since the missed opportunity would be followed in the
community.

To dewormed all the children from 1-14 years in order to improve on their
health status.

To vaccinate all the 10 years old girls with HPV vaccination and this will
protect them from cancer of cervix in future.

To vaccinate all the pregnant mothers and women of child bearing age with td
vaccines and this prepares them for safe delivery and giving birth to normal
babies in future.

To strengthen the immunity of children age six to fifty- nine years as they
received vitamin A supplementation.
ACHIEVEMENTS

We managed to complete all the sessions within the time frame as planned.

CHALLAGES DURING ACTIVITY
 Limited transport since there is only one motorcycle already broken up needs
serious repair for EPI activities to reach hard to reach far distances and to run
all other health facility activities within the Sub County & district.
 Being at the borderline district affects performance where not all the
catchment population is reached.
RECOMMENDATION
 GAVI to provide facility with more functional transport means like new
motorcycle for EPI Department to help reach far hard to reach places of
outreaches since the health facility has a very old one that needs repair most
of the time.
 Rain protective gears e.g. gumboots, raincoats are to be provided to health
workers especially when such activity is taking place during rainy season.
CONCLUSION
Appreciation to district leaders the CAO, DHO, ADHO-MCH, Chairman LCV,
secretary Health and MOH for the support making the activity successful through
PHC funds.
I do request other IPs to always come in whenever such a programme is taking place
in the district/country this would improve on the health of our poor Ugandan,
