As we prioritize routine immunizations in a post-pandemic era, countries are eager to increase their progress toward achieving global immunization goals set prior to the pandemic. In their webinar on April 26, 2023, MOMENTUM Routine Immunization Transformation and Equity shared lessons learned from India and Kenya during the pandemic and how they can be applied to routine immunization.

Government officials from India discussed bringing equitable COVID-19 vaccination to vulnerable and hard-to-reach populations using community engagement and working through local non-governmental organizations with deep community networks. They shared how this approach can be used to improve routine immunization, especially for populations commonly missed by health services.

Panelists also spoke about Kenya’s immunization program and what measures were taken to keep immunization coverage from dropping during the pandemic, including new strategies to improve equity and life course vaccination were implemented and what others can gain from the lessons learned.
