The Immunization Project

Immunizations, Vaccines and Biologicals
Other Information

The Immunization Project provides immunizations for children and women of child-bearing age in Haiti. A coalition of the Ministere de la Sante Public et de la Population, Pan American Health Organization and The Haiti Connection initiated a project to provide protocols, information and resources for school administrators, medical teams and other approved organizations to get vaccines for immunization clinics.

The Plan

Two months prior to the clinic, school administrators or medical professionals submit a request for vaccines to The Haiti Connection. The form is evaluated and sent to Ministere de Sante (MSPP) and Pan American Health Organization (PAHO/OPS) or other non-governmental organizations. MSPP obtains the vaccines, supplies, and forms, and then provides the green Carte National de Vaccination.

For school clinics, administrators will contact the student’s care provider. Immunizations will be available for students, their siblings and women of child-bearing age in the home. If visiting medical teams participate, we request they provide super insulated coolers with frozen briquettes for the vaccines, supplies for the clinic and support.

During clinics, professional provide education on water/sanitation, nutrition and prevention of infectious diseases. At the clinics conclusion, the team leader completes forms to list the number and types of vaccines that were administered, report commutable diseases and evaluate the effectiveness of the clinic. They will return the completed forms, unused vaccines and supplies.

Phase I involves three clinics. At the competition of the initial clinics, we will evaluate the efficacy of the project that will become a model for immunization clinics.
