USAID/Peru Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC) immunizations threshold program (ITP) assessment : final report

A USAID/Peru contractor implemented the program with the goal of expanding coverage of one-year old infants who have received immunization against measles and the full series of three diphtheria, pertussis and tetanus (DPT3) vaccinations, so that immunization rates of 95% are reached in each of Peru"s regions and, thus, nationally. In order to reach the immunization threshold, the MOH designed a strategy to complement the National Immunization Strategy based on three components: increased vaccination in eight target regions through use of Itinerant Brigades (IBs) to access dispersed and excluded populations, strengthened vaccine logistics such as cold chain management and the creation of a national integrated immunization information system (IIIS).
