Why VaxyReach?
Hardest to reach
Zero-dose and under-immunised children are often located in remote areas, underserved urban settings, or marginalised communities where access to health services remains limited.
Fragmented data
Immunisation programmes continue to face operational challenges, including fragmented or incomplete data on missed children.
Limited tools
Limited tools to prioritise outreach effectively.
Weak coordination
Weak coordination across community and health system actors, and inconsistent follow-up of identified children.
The VaxyReach Approach
Field-driven platform
VaxyReach is a field-driven operational platform designed to support health systems in identifying, prioritising, and following up with zero-dose and under-immunised children.
Strategic
Improved coordination across actors, strengthening the link between communities and health services, and aligning with national immunisation programme workflows, including low-connectivity settings.
Identify
Systematic identification of missed children.
Plan & track
Structured planning of outreach activities and real-time tracking of follow-up actions
From Data to Decision: Embedded Decision Support
At the core of VaxyReach is an embedded Clinical Decision Support Tool (CDST) that supports frontline decision-making. It combines national immunisation guidelines, programmatic rules, and simple, transparent prioritisation logic to provide practical, data-informed guidance to health workers and supervisors. This enables them to identify which children should be prioritised, determine when follow-up is most urgent, and decide where outreach efforts should be focused. The CDST does not replace health workers’ judgement—it strengthens it by supporting more structured, consistent, and informed decisions in real-world settings.
Core Functionalities
Identification and Reporting
VaxyReach empowers community health workers to systematically identify and report zero-dose and under-immunised children, ensuring that no child is ever missed at the local level.
Geospatial Mapping
The platform visualises the geographic distribution of missed children, supporting more precise and targeted microplanning at settlement and health area levels.
Targeted Microplanning
VaxyReach generates prioritised action lists for outreach activities and supports the effective allocation of health workers and resources to reach zero-dose and under-immunised children.
Follow-up and Monitoring
The system enables continuous tracking of vaccination status over time and allows for real-time updates of individual child records during and after interventions.
Operational Dashboards
VaxyReach provides real-time visibility for health facilities and district managers, supporting performance monitoring and enabling adaptive planning based on current data.
Community Engagement and Learning
The platform supports community awareness-raising on immunisation while providing structured learning content for vaccinators and community actors to strengthen knowledge and engagement.
Expected Contribution
VaxyReach enables programmes to move from reactive service delivery to proactive, targeted outreach.
Its deployment contributes to:
It directly supports countries’ efforts to advance immunisation equity in line with the Immunization Agenda 2030.
Implementation Context
VaxyReach has been developed and deployed in collaboration with national immunisation programmes and partners, with a focus on strengthening last-mile service delivery.
It is designed to:
- Integrate with existing health information systems (including DHIS2 where applicable)
- Adapt to country-specific guidelines and operational realities
- Scale progressively from pilot to national level
