Next Wednesday, April 02 from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. (EDT) we will meet in the virtual seminar "Optimizing JRF Information to Strengthen Immunization Programs in the Region of the Americas", organized by the PAHO Special Program on Comprehensive Immunization (CIM).
The objective of this webinar is to raise awareness of the activities and processes associated with the 2024 electronic Joint Reporting Form (eJRF) and to support the countries of the Region of the Americas, ensuring the quality of immunization program data and vaccine-preventable diseases reported in the eJRF as an official source to monitor the implementation of global and regional strategies such as the Agenda for Immunization 2030 (IA2030) and the new Regional Immunization Action Plan 2030 (RIAP2030).
During the virtual meeting, we will review how the 2024 process went, the use and quality of the reported data, and identify the main challenges, next steps, and relevant dates of the 2025 process.
