PHISICC FINAL WORKHOP: RESEARCH FINDINGS AND IMPLICATIONS
PHISICC (Paper-based Health Information Systems in Comprehensive Care) is a research programme to address the question: what are the effects of an innovative suite of paper-based
tools, implemented in remote, rural, primary health care settings, on health outcomes, data quality, data use and the perceptions of health workers and clients?
The project ran from 2016 to 2021 in Côte d’Ivoire, Mozambique and Nigeria, and is funded by the BMGF. In six work streams: we have synthesised the global evidence on health information
systems; we have characterised the health information systems in the three countries, using a Human Centred Design approach; we have designed a suite of recording and reporting tools for antenatal care, delivery, postnatal care, vaccination, sick child, general
consultation, tuberculosis and HIV (in three languages); and we have tested the tools using randomised controlled trials, comparing 35 health facilities with the new tools with another set of 35 health facilities with the usual tools. In a subset of additional
health facilities using the PHISICC tools, we performed qualitative research to understand how the tools were used and perceived.
On the 7th and 8th of December 2021, in Abuja, we are holding a partners and stakeholders workshop with the three countries in order to reach a common interpretation of findings
and to discuss the implications.
The workshop will end on the 8th with a SESSION OPEN to everyone who may be interested in the project and the topic. Join us!
Day: 8th December 2021
Time: 17 h (WAT)
Duration: 45 minutes

This new job aid for COVID-19 vaccination implementers was developed as part of the Access to COVID-19 Tools (ACT) Accelerator’s Country Readiness and Delivery (CRaD) workstream.
The resource shares common COVID-19 vaccine introduction challenges and corresponding potential solutions. The content is presented in three thematic areas reflecting the most frequently reported subjects:
communications and social mobilization; reporting and monitoring; and supply and logistics.
This data was collected through a series of interactive webinars and a survey of country level vaccination workforce across all WHO regions conducted in March 2021. We are grateful
to all the immunization professionals who took time to respond to the survey. Locally identified solutions were synthesized from the survey responses submitted by health workers. They are offered in the spirit of facilitating peer-to-peer learning, but do
not imply respective endorsement by that nation’s ministry of health. Additional suggestions from global experts have also been incorporated. Persistent gaps in operational solutions are also flagged.
Additional WHO resources are included in the job aid. As countries proceed with further implementation of their COVID-19 programmes, more in-depth lessons will be discovered and
shared through WHO-supported intra-action reviews (IARs), COVID-19 post implementation evaluations (cPIES), and other appropriate methods.

You can already register to the next session of the WHO Costing, Budgeting, Financing and Delivery of
COVID-19 Vaccines webinar series.
Title of the session: COVID-19 Vaccines
Impact Modelling - Key Issues to know about Modeled Evidence to Inform Prioritization and Delivery
Epidemiological modeling has been used to inform policy responses to and public communication regarding the COVID-19 pandemic. This webinar will describe the global-level processes
for reviewing and integrating modeling into WHO COVID-19 vaccination policies and strategies; share findings from recent modeling work on COVID-19 vaccination strategies commissioned to inform WHO’s Strategic Advisory Group of Experts on Immunization (SAGE);
and highlight key considerations for commissioning and using modeling to inform COVID-19 vaccination decision making at regional and national levels. Stakeholders from country Ministries of Health, NITAGs, and partner organizations (country/ regional/ global)
who are supporting countries with COVID-19 vaccination rollout and strategies around public health and social measures (PHSMs) are encouraged to join this webinar.
Interpretation into French and Spanish will be available
When: Wednesday 8th December 12:00 CET

Dear Colleagues,
I would like to bring to your attention that the Summary Tables of WHO Routine Immunization Recommendations have been updated. The latest versions (November 2021) of the
Summary Tables (available in both FRENCH and ENGLISH) can be downloaded from the WHO website (https://www.who.int/teams/immunization-vaccines-and-biologicals/policies/who-recommendations-for-routine-immunization---summary-tables).
As these tables are updated regularly, it is always best to go to the website for the most recent version.
I would like to thank Shalini Desai for her help with this task.
This latest revision has been a LARGE one and the main updates include the following:
-
Polio: Revised to reflect and provide links to the March 2021 (WER9622-eng-fre.pdf
(who.int), October 2020 (WER9548-585-607-eng-fre.pdf
(who.int) and March 2020 (WER9522-eng-fre.pdf
(who.int) SAGE Meeting recommendations (clarifying the bOPV+IPV schedule options)
-
DTP-containing vaccine: Revised to provide link to the evidence supporting the off-license use of Td vaccine in children
4-7 years of age (Use
of tetanus-diphtheria (Td) vaccine in children 4–7 years of age: World Health Organization consultation of experts - ScienceDirect)
-
Pneumococcal (Conjugate): Revised to include NEW June 2021 Concept Note on considerations for pneumococcal vaccination
in older adults (WER9623-217-228-eng-fre.pdf
(who.int) resulting from the evidence review by the WHO SAGE Working Group on Pneumococcal Vaccines and SAGE at its October 2020 meeting (WER9548-585-607-eng-fre.pdf
(who.int)
-
Rotavirus: NEW WHO Position Paper – July 2021 (WER9628-eng-fre.pdf
(who.int) (to include recent developments in the field, such as 2 additional rotavirus vaccines prequalified by WHO in 2018, as well as updated post-licensure safety and effectiveness data for the 2 previously prequalified rotavirus vaccines)
-
Rubella: NEW WHO Position Paper – July 2020 (WER9527-306-324-eng-fre.pdf
(who.int)(incorporating the most recent developments in the field of rubella vaccines and updated guidance on their introduction and use in national immunization schedules. Including co-administration of rubella vaccine with yellow fever (YF) vaccine
and the WHO position on the control and elimination of rubella)
-
HPV: Revised to include the October 2019 SAGE Meeting recommendations (WER9447-eng-fre.pdf
(who.int) (recommending the following additional strategies: All countries should temporarily pause implementation of boy, older age group (>15 years) and multi-age cohort (MAC) HPV vaccination strategies until vaccine supply allows equitable access
to HPV vaccine by all countries. Countries can adopt an extended interval of 3-5 years between the 2 doses. This strategy constitutes off-label use of the vaccine.)
-
Minor updates to measles, YF, JE (live vaccine co administration (i.e. should be co administered or wait 4 weeks)
-
Revision of Table 3 footnotes to only include information related to interrupted and delayed schedules.
Just a reminder that a User's Guide to the Summary Tables exists (http://www.who.int/immunization/policy/WHO_EPI_Sum_tables_Def_200713.pdf)
and in French (www.who.int/immunization/policy/routine_immunization_table_guidelines_fr.pdf).
This short guide has been developed as a companion piece to help orientate users of the summary tables.
What are the purposes of this guide?
• To raise awareness that the full spectrum of WHO recommendations for routine immunization are available in four summary tables.
• To explain how the summary tables can be used at country level to review and possibly modify a national immunization schedule so that it has greater impact and efficiency.
• To highlight practical and operational issues that country decision-makers should consider when making a change to the national immunization schedule.
Please circulate this message to others who may be interested. The Summary Tables are
intended for use by national immunization managers and key decision-makers, chairs of national advisory committees on immunization, and partner organizations, including industry.
Best regards.
Tracey
