As part of its revitalization plan for immunization services, the Uganda National Expanded Program on Immunization (UNEPI) refined its policies and standards governing immunization delivery. These standards are derived from Uganda's EPI objectives, which are to increase access to immunization services, to provide save and potent vaccines, to create and sustain demand for services, and to prevent disease. The standards provide managers and providers with performance guidelines for planning, managing, implementing, and monitoring immunization programs at national, district, health sub-district, and health facility levels. They also serve as a useful reference for technical support supervision, on-the-job training, and quality improvement of EPI services.
