A comprehensive assessment of the BiH Expanded Programme on Immunization (EPI) was needed at this point of time as none had been carried out since the restarting of the programme. In addition, BiH has expressed interest in applying to the Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunization (GAVI) fund in order to introduce universal immunization of children against hepatitis B and Hib infection.
Specific objectives:
- To review the present epidemiological situation of Vaccine Preventable Diseases (VPDs)
- To review major EPI components and provide recommendations on:
Management, co-ordination and implementation of the EPI
Policies and standards in the field of:
Immunization service delivery
VPDs surveillance
Cold chain, logistics and safety of immunization
Advocacy and communications
- To assess feasibility of introduction of universal immunization against Hepatitis B and Hib infection
