Los registros nominales de vacunación electrónicos (RNVe) son herramientas que facilitan el monitoreo de los calendarios individuales de vacunación y el almacenamiento de historiales individuales de vacunación y por lo tanto ayudan a mejorar el desempeño del Programa Ampliado de Inmunización (PAI) en cuanto a cobertura y eficiencia.

Este evento especial de la OMS/OPS ha sido diseñado para apoyar a los directores del PAI y a sus equipos de trabajo en la implementación de sistemas de información relacionados con el RNVe con fundamento en la orientación de la OMS/OPS en este tema.

Por favor vea este mensaje de la Dra. Martha Velandia sobre este evento especial. Este mensaje está especialmente dirigido a todas las personas que han solicitado al curso en español de certificación en Registros Nominales de Vacunación Electrónicos (RNVe).

La evidencia sugiere que los RNVe son herramientas económicas que ayudan a aumentar la cobertura, mejorar la puntualidad en la vacunación, reducir la revacunación por la imposibilidad de verificar inmunizaciones previas y proveen datos confiables para la toma de decisiones, por ejemplo dónde ubicar personas no vacunadas para garantizar el derecho a la vacunación equitativa.

Los RNVe también permiten monitorear el proceso de vacunación con miras a optimizar las actividades auxiliares. 

El progreso hacia el desarrollo y la implementación de los RNVe se origina en los avances alcanzados tanto en los programas de vacunación como en las tecnologías de información y comunicaciones, la conectividad y los requisitos de información del PAI.

El desarrollo del RNVe, su implementación a nivel nacional y principalmente su sostenibilidad no son procesos fáciles, rápidos o económicos.  Sin embargo, la experiencia generada por múltiples proyectos de desarrollo del RNVe y el éxito de algunos de los programas, pueden ser utilizados como fuentes de mejores prácticas y pueden brindar muchas lecciones aprendidas.

WHO Scholar programme webinar series #2: immunization services throughout the life course

It’s not just about immunization: vaccination as a part of integrated health services

GENEVA, 16 May 2019 (The Geneva Learning Foundation) – “Your job is not about immunization, not just about a single health topic. There is a wide-range of different health and even non-health topics being covered.”  So Aaron Wallace from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC) said in his introduction to over 700 immunization Scholars from 33 countries attending the second of six WHO Scholar programme webinars about reducing inequity and improving coverage.

Lead presenter Emily Wootton introduced the World Health Organization’s resource guide for the integration of immunization services throughout the life course. This publication is one of four new global guidelines presented in the webinar series to support Scholars leading change to improve immunization outcomes in their district, region, or country.

“As we move to a life course approach for immunization, if we want to [achieve] impact, we really need to work in a different way. Integration with other programmes is going to become more and more important” added Wootton.

“Strong immunization systems, as part of broader health systems and closely coordinated with other primary health care delivery programmes are essential for achieving immunization goals” explained Emily Wootton.

So how do we integrate the delivery of vaccines along the life course? “Integration requires a global approach and an understanding of each specific context to be efficient” said Aaron Wallace. Wootton and Wallace warned Scholars to be “very careful” about the interventions they choose to integrate and ask themselves whether the changes they propose are going to be acceptable. “Don’t try to do everything all at once.”

WHO defines integrated health services as “health services that are managed and delivered so that people receive a continuum of health promotion, disease prevention, diagnosis, treatment, disease-management, rehabilitation and palliative care services, coordinated across the different levels and sites of care within and beyond the health sector, and according to their needs throughout the life course”.

By 6 July 2019, this new WHO Scholar programme cohort will create hundreds of peer-reviewed, context-specific action plans to improve immunization outcomes, helping to transform four different WHO and UNICEF guidelines into action.“We would love these projects that people develop now to be implemented in the future,” concludes Emily Wootton.

WHO Scholar programme webinar series #1: Establishing and strengthening immunization in the second year of life (2YL)

How do we increase vaccination coverage for all ages with a system almost exclusively designed for newborns and babies?

GENEVA, 15 May 12019 (The Geneva Learning Foundation) – Over 2,200 immunization professionals from 96 countries registered to participate in the World Health Organization Scholar programme’s first open webinar series on reducing inequities and improving coverage for immunization. The inaugural webinar led by WHO’s Samir Sodha focused on immunization in the second year of life (2YL).

Introducing the series, the World Health Organization’s Diane Chang Blanc reminded participants of the pledge that all individuals and communities should enjoy lives free from vaccine-preventable diseases. “That was part of the vision for the Decade of Vaccines,” she explained. “As we move into the next decade, we want to achieve that collectively as a global community.”

790 Scholars from 37 countries were in attendance, with a third connecting from the district level. 300 of them have been selected by the World Health Organization to participate in the first cohort of the WHO Scholar Level 2 certification in reducing inequities and improving coverage.

By 6 July 2019, this cohort will create hundreds of peer-reviewed, context-specific action plans to improve immunization outcomes, helping to transform WHO guidelines into action.

WHO Technical Officer Samir Sodha explained: “Today’s immunization system is currently almost exclusively designed for a one year old population. We can offer vaccines to a multiple-age population (newborns, pregnant women seniors). But, for each population, we need to develop unique strategies and platforms to get to them.”

Establishing and strengthening immunization in the second year of life offers a first step to establishing a life course approach for immunization “as it doesn’t necessarily require a new platform.” Nevertheless, Samir cautions that expanding coverage to the second year of life is not necessarily straightforward and requires a system-wide approach.
