Stakeholder Consultation Workshop on the Perceived Value of Thermostable Vaccines to Relieve Program Barriers: A Case Study from Côte d'Ivoire.

Background: Persistent inequities in access to vaccinations pose challenges for immunization programs worldwide. Innovations facilitating vaccine delivery, such as leveraging vaccine thermostability through a Controlled Temperature Chain (CTC), have emerged as a potential solution to increase coverage in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) countries such as Côte d'Ivoire, reducing dependence on the cold chain and improving vaccine delivery efficiency. However, the added value of thermostable vaccines and their integration into national immunization programs is under-recognized by stakeholders.

[Effects of Monitoring "Out-of-Area" Vaccinated Children on Data Quality, San Pedro Health District, Côte D'ivoire in 2019].

In order to improve the quality of vaccination data from the health centers, we carried out the follow-up of "out-of-area" children, vaccinated in the district of San Pedro. The objective of this work was to measure the effects of taking into account the "out-of-area" vaccinated children on the quality of the data and the immunization performance of the health centers. This monitoring, which was carried out between March and August 2019, consisted of four steps: the vaccination of "out-of-area" children by the health center, the monthly update in the register of the status of vaccinated "out-of-area" children, the accounting of these children, and the re-evaluation of the health center's vaccine performance.

[Surveillance of acute flaccid paralysis in Ivory Coast between 2007 and 2016: Significance and epidemiological profile of non-poliovirus enteroviruses].

Introduction: Côte d'Ivoire's status as a polio-free country requires high quality surveillance of acute flaccid paralysis. Our study aims to determine the prevalence of non-poliovirus enteroviruses found in the surveillance of Acute Flaccid Paralysis (AFP) in Côte d'Ivoire and to study their distribution according to individual characteristics and associated factors.

Method: We conducted an exhaustive descriptive and analytical cross-sectional retrospective study on 3597 cases of acute flaccid paralysis notified in the context of surveillance of AFP from 2007 to 2016 in Côte d'Ivoire.

[Performance of the Strategy to Catch Up with Drop Out and Unvaccinated Children in Côte d'Ivoire in 2018].

To improve the performance of Côte-d'Ivoire's immunization program, we have implemented a strategy to catch up with drop out children (DOC) and unvaccinated children (UVC) in 14 Health Districts (HDs) with the lowest measles vaccination coverage. This article presents the effectiveness and cost of this strategy. We selected the areas with the highest numbers of DOC: 5 health areas (HAs) per HD and 5 villages/neighborhoods per HA.
