Ethiopia has been implementing various strategies to improve immunization coverage However, many gaps and challenges related to health systems, supply-demand, and programme management constrained immunization service delivery and uptake. The major bottlenecks in accessing health services, including immunization and Nutrition, include Geographical factors (remote and hard-to-reach areas), Service disruptions due to conflicts and other humanitarian contexts; Community characteristics, such as pastoralists and mobile communities and Personal factors such as competing priorities of caregivers, These challenges are further compounded by inadequate logistics and demotivation of service providers, Inadequate knowledge skills and poor attitudes, of service providers.
Although Ethiopia has been using a standardized and customized District Health Information Software (DHIS2) system for reporting EPI data from health facilities to the federal level, the data is found to be unreliable with inflated numbers and inconsistencies with wide variation from the survey and WUENIC data. The DHIS2 data also does not tell “zero dose children” as high administrative coverage at national, and in some cases, at sub-national levels, often masks the actual situation. Different field visits, assessment reports and routine supervision exercises have shown poor quality recording, collection, compilation, and reporting, as well as data triangulation and analysis. Feedback provision mechanisms are not regular and of good quality at all levels. Moreover, the DHIS2 does not capture the immunization data for children >12 months, and therefore it is difficult to measure and report the big catch-up (BCU) vaccination results which requires MOH to revise the current DHIS2 tool. During previous COVID-19 rounds, the country has used different parallel methods and tools, such as the RAT tool, Google Sheets, Power BI, and Dashboard, for the collection, analysis, and interpretation of vaccination data.
