Getting started
Modules
The modules introduce you to maternal immunization issues and provide you with the technical information required to look at the case studies and take the assessments.
This course is divided into two parts: decision-making at country level as well as planning and implementing the vaccine introduction. The decision making section primarily aims at policy makers; whereas the planning, training and communication, and monitoring and evaluation sections aim to support national immunization programme managers and immunization partners.
This training course can be taken as a whole or specific modules can be viewed, depending on the information requirements of the user. Each module will take you about 1½ hours to complete but you may find that it takes you a little more or a little less time than this. You can study this course at your own pace, pausing your learning at any point.
You will optimally benefit from the course by following the training path illustrated below. You have the opportunity to take training questions within the module to ensure an interactive learning experience.
