Facteurs Liés à l’Adoption et à l’Utilisation des kits et des directives de vaccination

En 2023, MOMENTUM Transformation et Équité de la Vaccination de Routine a examiné les kits et les directives existants en matière de vaccination afin d'en améliorer l'adoption et l'utilisation. Le laboratoire de mesure, d'apprentissage adaptatif et de gestion des connaissances (MAKLab) de MOMENTUM a procédé à une étude documentaire et à des entretiens avec des informateurs clés, en se concentrant sur les facilitateurs et les obstacles à l'immunisation. Les résultats, y compris les meilleures pratiques et stratégies, ont été synthétisés dans une liste de facteurs influençant l'adoption et l'utilisation des ressources liées à l'immunisation, en tenant compte également des ressources similaires non liées à l'immunisation.
