comment

in order to contribute to GVAP goal 'reach vaccination coverage in every region, country and community' I think it essential to have a integral and comprehensive plan that is feasable and is being supported by the essential stakeholders. In order to facilitate goal achievenment with participation of the stakeholders we should collaborate defining the goals and setting out the evaluation and monitoring strategy.

specificly the contribution of the selected priority strategies is in the planning and evaluation cycle. we vaccinate to prevent disease. This should have close monitoring. capacity building of those that are our eys and ears should be taken at heart. and money is a essential compononent. the expenditure of resources should be social and cost effective. the measures we take should be sustainable contributing to the heaalth of the population nowa days and in the future.
