| description |
This discussion paper makes an in depth
analysis of the integration of the delivery of
insecticide-treated nets (ITN) with vaccination campaigns
for measles and malaria control in Africa. In populations
where measles vaccination campaigns are conducted, malaria
is frequently the greatest health risk to children,
particularly after the campaign reduces measles mortality.
If each child vaccinated against measles during a campaign
also received an ITN, ITN coverage will increase rapidly and
equitably. The potential benefits of this approach have
prompted recent global policy changes to encourage increased
integration of ITN delivery and vaccination (WHO-UNICEF
2004). However, linking ITN distribution with measles
vaccination presents many operational challenges. The
findings from these Phase I and II studies suggest that
integrating ITN distribution into vaccination campaigns can
achieve higher and more equitable ITN coverage than other
delivery strategies at a lower cost to both providers and
consumers. Linking ITNs to measles campaigns presents an
important opportunity for reaching malaria control goals and
merits larger scale implementation and evaluation. |
