The document summarizes the current status of immunization training in the Republic of Maldives. [1] Mid-level managers like CHOs oversee vaccine handling, storage, requisition and reporting, as well as supervising vaccination sessions. [2] Pre-service training allocates 4 months for CHOs and 6 months for nurses to learn immunization skills. [3] In-service training has been inconsistent due to lack of funding and an established training program. Support is needed from partners like WHO to strengthen refresher training, develop materials, and improve coverage challenges from migration.

a result of this : most of the Vaccine preventable disease /
deaths has reduced. For example ; Diptheria, Tetanus, Pertusis
and Polio cases not seen in years.
 Also Tuberculosis and Measles rate was decreased.
 We are conducting fixed and out reach Vaccine sessions.
 For birth doses are given as soon as possible ( at least before

Regularly, as we had not yet established a system
for in-service training programme.
Training activities in immunization
conducted in last two years (2009-2011)

- Training needs assessments done


- Leaflets, IEC materials developed
 Training coursers conducted and number trained
 For Mid-Level Managers: 120 on Vaccine Management
2009 and AEFI in 2010,
 For Basic/community health workers and Nurses; 80 on
AEFI in 2010 and Vaccine Refresher Course in January
2009
 And for MMR and H1N1 Vaccine introducing: Atoll
level meetings was held for a group of 20 in each island.
( 2008 – 2010 )
 No Training Evaluation and follow-up actions taken.
Main Challenges Faced
 Lack of funds, lack of time (competing
priorities), limited evaluation, not enough
materials.
 Trained Personnel's get transferred.
 Lack of Experts for EPI Programmes.
( MLMs has to do multi tasks in health
Facility, so that their active performance is
limited.)
support needed from
WHO/partners
- EPI refresher Trainings for MLMs as well
as Nurses who are involving in Vaccination.
- Develop IEC Materials.
- Fund
Conclusion

 AEFI recording and reporting for even minor AEFIs


are important, since Serious AEFIs are very rare.
 Vaccine coverage is proudly high as we ( CHOs ) still
working together to improve and maintain the
Coverage.
 Our goal is to achieve 100% coverage in allover
Maldives, but it’s a difficult task because of
Migration to neighboring Countries.
