Instructional Film on Immunization

This video documentary, developed by PATH, CARE and IMMUNIZATIONbasics, documents the effective management of the immunisation programme at the village level in India. The purpose of the film is to enhance the quality and coverage of immunisation by instructing front-line workers on how to plan, conduct, monitor and report an immunisation session.

It is expected that through effective and improved planning, coordination, monitoring and community participation, the film will help to influence decision-makers at state, district and block levels to improve the quality and coverage of their immunisation programmes.

The contents of the film include:

• the organisation of immunisation services at primary health care (PHC)/Block level (last storage point for the vaccines),
• inventory management,
• how vaccines are taken to auxiliary nurse midwives (ANM),
• the conduct of an immunisation session showing the right use of an injection site,
• the correct interpretation of age and vaccines to be given,
• the use of AD (auto-disable) syringes and their disposal,
• how ANM, Anganwadi workers (AWW) and social mobilisers work together
• how to fill out immunisation cards,
• the tracking of absentees/drop outs by AWW

The film can be used in training, orientation and/or advocacy.

The duration of the film is approximately 21 minutes.
