Small group exercise
“Cumulative immunization coverage monitoring chart”
Refer to the cumulative immunization coverage monitoring chart:
- What is the monthly target?
- How many children should have DPT1 between 1 January and 30 April?
- How many children actually did have DPT1 between 1 January and 30 April?
- What percentage of the target population for the first four months of the year
had received DPT1 by the end of that period?
- Answer the same questions for DPT3.
Summary
At the end of each month, you will be able to compare the actual cumulative
number of interventions given by the health worker with the diagonal line on the
graph. Very quickly you will see if your coverage achievements are above, below
or close to the target. If the dot is below the diagonal line, then you are not on
track to reach 100% of the target population. The difference between the
diagonal line and the upper dot represents the left-out target population. The
space between the two plotted lines on the graph is the visual equivalent of the
dropout figures. Analysis of the data at each level should lead to action. To
reinforce the monthly use of this chart, supervisors should ask to see the data on
each visit and provide encouragement for the continued use of the chart.
