Proposal for ISS support: Papua New Guinea
The government seeks GAVI support to strengthen routine immunisation (ISS) and introduce a new combination liquid tetravalent vaccine (DTP-Hib). Despite an excellent health infrastructure and national information health systems, the immunisation service delivery systems are struggling to maintain adequate coverage levels for different antigens included in the schedule due to several issues identified in previous EPI reviews: poor systematic outreach, poor community demand, poor transport and communication systems.
