A post introduction evaluation (PIE) is recommended by WHO for all countries
that have introduced a new vaccine. Ideally, a PIE should be conducted within
6-12 months of introduction, (a) to allow enough time for programme scale up,
collect data and develop potential long-lasting problems due to introduction,
and (b) early enough to correct any major problems related to the
introduction. The PIE for Zambia was conducted two years after the switch from
liquid-lyophilised to fully liquid pentavalent.
