New Vaccine Post-Introduction Evaluation - libdoc.who.int - World ...

3.3 Presentation of findings at national level
Findings should be presented in a clear and concise manner, including an overview of
findings and recommendations using the template in Appendix 5. Positive findings
should be highlighted at the beginning and at the end of the document, with constructive
recommendations relating to any difficulties encountered presented in the middle.
Findings should be presented to MoH and immunization Interagency Coordination
Committee (ICC) members to provide an opportunity for discussion and clarification.
Sharing the findings early is an important step in ensuring that corrective action is
taken as soon as possible. A plan that outlines a timeline, and the entity responsible
for taking corrective action, should be put in place to ensure that the recommendations
are implemented. The country should be asked to report to the ICC 6–12 months
following the PIE, regarding their progress on implementing the recommendations of
the PIE. The presentation should be followed by a detailed written report as outlined
in Appendix 7.
The PIE will also provide useful information to other countries planning new vaccine
introduction, since they are likely to encounter similar issues. Therefore, a copy of the
report should be sent to the appropriate WHO Regional Office so that the findings
can be shared with other countries in the region, as well as to WHO Headquarters for
sharing more widely.
