Online published on 15 December, 2017. Abstract Introduction RHTC of KVG Medical College has achieved ≥95% FIC and booster dose coverage through Immunogram by March 2013 and sustaining till date. We operationalized MI, launched by the Government as a special drive with following 4 research questions What new lessons can be learnt? What proportion of due children could be mobilized? What proportion of data would qualify for reporting through Health Management Information System (HMIS) and impact on strengthening “MCTi Sation"? What proportions of children would receive vaccination from private sector?
Methodology We developed and prepared MI specific micro-plan and duelist using MCTS compatible Extended Immunogram (E-IgM) tool; provided vaccination services in ‘all time mission mode ’in the regular sessions itself. Results 7 new lessons were learnt; ∼85% due children were mobilized, 40% of vaccination data qualified for reporting through HMIS, ∼85% data could be MCTiSed and ∼12% beneficiaries availed services from private sector. No additional impact on coverage as the baseline coverage was very high. Conclusion and Recommendation Critical Indicators of MI can be achieved in a very short time through the tool E-IgM and proper approach incurring no additional fatigue and expenditure.∼28, 000 planning units of India can potentially replicate this.
