Improving SIA Quality: Lessons Learned

The 7th Annual Partners for Measles Advocacy Meeting focused on improving the quality of Supplementary Immunization Activities (SIAs). Panelists, including experts from CDC, WHO, and other organizations, discussed key issues defining "quality" in SIAs, such as achieving high and uniform coverage while minimizing adverse events. They addressed the challenges faced, including low coverage in certain districts, operational problems, and the need for better integration of measles campaigns with other health initiatives. Lessons learned and best practices were shared to enhance future SIAs.
