Article Synopsis
- The study evaluated how rapid vaccination monitoring contributes to meeting vaccination goals during catch-up campaigns.
- Data from the Directorate of Vaccine-Preventable Diseases showed significant improvements in vaccination coverage for measles and rubella (MR) and oral polio vaccines (bOPV) after implementing rapid monitoring.
- The results indicated a notable increase in vaccine coverage (MR rose to 98.7% and bOPV to 100%), supporting the idea that rapid monitoring not only validates but also enhances data accuracy and is beneficial from a cost perspective.
