Challenges of Routine Immunisation during Pandemic 

With the overwhelming COVID-19 pandemic, frontline health workers were under immense pressure to continuously update and renew their skills to ensure an appropriate and timely pandemic response.

The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in reluctance among vaccinators to maintain their routine activities. This consequence may hinder immunisation programmes and lower vaccination coverage. 

In the event of a pandemic, the training of vaccine providers in real-time is imperative to maintain immunisation activities and convey the protective measures taken. Providing on-the-go training or instant access to curated learning resources can ease the obstacle of training during the pandemic.

GaneshAID’s Innovation: VacciForm

In response to this issue, GaneshAID has come up with an innovation to address the need for rapid learning on new measures of routine immunisation during any pandemic: VacciForm.

VacciForm offers health workers a COVID-19 m-learning course that provides micro-learning capsules targeting the most critical information to be updated, such as national guidelines and regulations to deal with COVID-19 situations in a routine immunisation session.

Not only that, but VacciForm also provides a social learning network for the healthcare communities to directly learn from each other and share information to inform their agile responses to any pandemic. The solution includes a Facebook-like page and WhatsApp-like chat functions that promote knowledge exchange, creating a space where questions can be asked and answered and promising approaches can be discussed.

By constantly updating crucial information and sharing knowledge with other colleagues, health workers using VacciForm are able to maintain the immunisation routine with confidence in the event of an outbreak.
