7. Evidence Based Options
Routine immunization can be improved through judicious application of
interventions to
• Increase Community Participation,
• Involve non-professional health workers,
• Create Vaccine Demand,
• Use a Vaccination Reminder/Recall System
• Reduce Undesirable Side effects

8. In Support of Interventions
In 2003, the National Vaccine Advisory Committee (NVAC) published a report titled
“Standards for Child and Adolescent Immunization Practices.” This report highlighted number
of specific strategies for increasing coverage, such as Reminder systems, office- and clinic-
based patient record reviews, and community based approaches.
“Increasing Immunization Coverage” - Pediatrics 2010

The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) endorses reminder/recall systems through
policy statements and reports.

The Task force on community preventive services recommends the client reminder and recall
interventions based on strong evidence of effectiveness in improving vaccination coverage:In
children and adults,In a range of settings and populations,
When applied at different levels of scale from individual practice settings to entire
communities,Across a range of intervention characteristics (eg., reminders and recall, content,
theoretical basis and method of delivery),When used alone or with additional components
