Quality Trainings for Vaccinators & Supervisors
• How many families with separate kitchens living in the house?
• In each household first ask if there is a newborn?
• If there is no newborn, then enquire about the youngest child in the house; then keep
enquiring about the next older child unless you have reached upto five years age
• Are all the children at home ? Any children away from the house for reasons like school,
fields, marketplaces or visiting friends or relatives or accompanying parents to work?
• Any young child sleeping inside the house?
• Any child under five visiting the house?
• Have they all been immunized at booth?
• Any cases of vaccine preventable diseases under surveillance
– Recent onset Paralysis/ muscle weakness in children under 15 year of age in the house or neighbourhood?
– Any case of recent onset fever with rash
Key questions to be asked in each house
• OPV administration
• VVM, open vial policy and Cold Chain management
• Finger & house marking
• Newborn tracking
• Tally sheet filling
• Responding to FAQs from parents
• Key messages to parents
• B Team activity
House to house activities
• Vaccinate child and mark left little finger of the child with
indelible ink marker pen
• Mark houses as P or X after vaccination as per existing guidelines,
complete tally sheet and record X houses as needed
• Check for any suspected cases of acute flaccid paralysis, fever
with rash which need to be reported to medical officer for further
investigation
• All ‘X’ marked houses should be revisited at the time when
children are most likely to be available at their homes.
House to house activities
Common issues related to training
• Only one drop administered
– Inadvertently in crowded booths
– Deliberately in refusal families
• Dropper near the mouth without squeezing in refusal families
• Dropper touching the mouth while vaccinating
• Drops given to sleeping / crying children- running out of the
mouth
• Vomiting /coughing out polio drops-finger marking done &
child considered immunized
• Finger marking without OPV administration
Booth activity
• Pre-booth preparations including identification and
interaction with local influencers
• Split booths with high coverage (more than 200
children)
• Booth to be set up in well ventilated room
• Mobilize children in small batches to avoid
overcrowding
• Encourage only one caregiver with a beneficiary
• Follow COVID appropriate behaviors
Transit teams and clinic booths
• Each Transit team having 1 to 4 members
• Visible and Pro-active
• Be polite to parents
• Individual member to have vaccine vial, marker pen and tally sheet
• At transit booths set up at popular clinics/ pvt hospitals, take cooperation from the doctor
for vaccinating all children walking in including those attending OPD
• Check the finger mark, immunize those who have not yet got the vaccine
• Finger marking of all those vaccinated
• Tally Sheet marking
Mobile team
Separate training session for mobile team members
• Operational components
– VVM; Finger marking; House marking; Filling tally sheets
• Timing of visits
• Importance of generating X houses
• Plan for multiple visits in view of frequent migration /
shift timings to coincide with timing of population
movement
• Key messages
– Immunize your children wherever you go ; Importance of RI
• Verify age of the children
Supervisors’ training
• A separate training for supervisors
combined with microplan review
• A copy of the supervisor’s
instructions should be distributed
• The instructions should be read
aloud and discussed with them
• Ensure that the Supervisors are clear on their roles:
• Before and during the activity
• Support teams with replenishment of vaccine/ logistics as required
• Supervisor to cross check completeness of vaccination in ‘P’
marked houses (in P sweep tally sheet activity)
• Supervisor’s reporting format to be discussed in detail
Training issues
• Batch size and mode (virtual/ classroom)
• Trainer selection
• New vaccinators not given extra focus
• No uniform/clear understanding on
– Newborn tracking
– Proper X categorization & poor biphasic
– Faulty finger marking at booths / transit sites
– Faulty house markings where multiple families live
• Lack of IPC skills resulting in:
– Spending inadequate time in houses
– Not identifying newborns, younger/ sick / visiting children
– Inability of teams to clarify FAQs from parents
Summary
• Trainings essential for improving quality of SIA activities
• Identify training issues from monitoring, tally sheet analysis and
focus on weak teams and supervisors
• Trainings – opportunity for motivation & appreciating the good
performers
• Reiterate maintaining covid appropriate behavior in areas with
recent COVID-19 transmission
