POST 01115E : OTHER INTERVENTIONS WITH VACCINATION 2 July 2007 _____________________________________ Integration of other child health services with immunization has been discussed on the forum, even as recently as last May (post 01087E). There is also a string of postings on Other Interventions with Vaccination that ended in August 2005 with Post 00827E. Usually, we do not circulate Snapshot, the e-publication by one of our partners IMMUNIZATIONbasics. The latest issue (No. 5) however has an interesting article on the topic, for those of you who haven't received it already. It reviews the issue concisely and provides criteria to consider in linking interventions to immunization. We also wish to bring to your attention the article "Sustained high coverage of insecticide-treated bednets through combined Catch-up and Keep-up strategies" by Mark Grabowsky, Theresa Nobiya and Joel Selanikio, just published in Tropical Medicine and International Health, in July 2007. Authors conclude that a high level ITN coverage and use was achieved and sustained by sequential community-based mass campaigns Catch-up and clinic-based Keep-up distribution. Finally in the previous June issue of the same journal, another article, "Is the Expanded Programme on Immunisation the most appropriate delivery system for intermittent preventive treatment of malaria in West Africa?" by by Daniel Chandramohan, Jayne Webster, Lucy Smith, Timothy Awine, Seth Owusu-Agyei and Ilona Carneiro, concludes that it is not necessarily the case. ______________________________________________________________________________ All members of the TechNet21 e-Forum are invited to send comments on any posting or to use the forum to raise a new discussion or request technical information in relation to immunization services.
