Training Field Teams to Assess Malaria Vaccination Coverage in Benin
AIRID is leading a study in Benin, in collaboration with the National Malaria Control Programme (PNLP), to assess whether seasonal intensification of malaria vaccine delivery can improve vaccination coverage. Through the GAVI SIRI and OPTMVAC projects, 32 data collectors and supervisors received training to prepare for the upcoming survey and ensure reliable data collection.
TRAINING FIELD TEAMS TO ASSESS MALARIA VACCINATION COVERAGE IN BENIN
Can seasonal intensification of malaria vaccine delivery help more children receive their recommended doses?
AIRID is leading a study in Benin, working closely with the National Malaria Control Programme (PNLP), to assess the impact of this delivery strategy on malaria vaccination coverage.
As part of this work funded by the GAVI SIRI and OPTMVAC projects, we trained 32 data collectors and supervisors for the upcoming coverage survey. The training covered survey tools, sampling procedures, informed consent, Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), fieldwork coordination and data management.
Through presentations, interactive discussions and practical exercises, participants strengthened their skills to collect accurate, reliable and high-quality data.
The survey will generate evidence to help immunisation programmes improve vaccine delivery and reach more children with this vital malaria prevention tool.
