Overview of position:
Providing immunization services to children & others has been identified as one of the most cost effective development interventions, with both health & economic benefits. Nigeria’s Expanded Program on Immunization (EPI) has made significant efforts at ensuring increase in immunization coverage over the last three decades. However, there are gaps at national & sub national levels.
To mitigate against iSC challenges in Nigeria, last mile vaccine delivery initiatives have been proposed or implemented including outsourcing, direct delivery in a few states, supply chain level skipping etc. all of these contributing to increased product availability, reduction in stock outs etc.
Nigeria’s direct Delivery of Routine Immunization Vaccines (& other PHC commodities) for Equity (DRIVE) initiative is designed to scale innovative direct delivery (& similar supply chain) interventions up to the last mile, prioritizing the most underserved & unreached populations. This will support Nigeria’s immunization program’s objective of increasing vaccines (& other child health commodity) availability for every child (& others), reducing the time spent on logistics by health workers, reducing out of pocket expenses for logistics (a disincentive for health workers) & contributing to higher coverage & increasingly targeting & reaching underserved & zero dose populations.
