Sri Lanka 4 Immunization system highlights There is a comprehensive multi-year plan (cmyp) for immunization system strengthening covering -6. A national policy on immunization has been developed. A standing National Technical Advisory Group on Immunization (NTAGI) exists in the form of an advisory committee on communicable disease. A national system to monitor Adverse Events Following Immunization (AEFI) exists. A national policy for health care waste management including waste from immunization activities exists. Sri Lanka achieved maternal neonatal tetanus (MNT) elimination status in 9. All 6 districts have updated micro-plans that include activities to raise immunization coverage. All 6 districts had >9% DTP-Hib-HepB3 coverage and >9% MCV coverage. An EPI coverage assessment survey was conducted in 4 in Killinochchi and Mullativu Districts. No stock-out of Vaccine was reported at the national and district level. Plan to introduce IPV in July 5.
