Question 2: Implementing EPI in SA
Review the Vaccination Schedule that is followed in implementing EPI in South Africa.
a. What challenges do you think affect the implementation of EPI? Think about these in terms of structural and process challenges.
b. Consider the current context of the roll-out of the COVID-19 vaccine. With reference to the Donabedian Model, what can we do to ensure the success of this programme?
a) There could be a shortage of staff to be able to administer the vaccines. There could be a lack of infrastructure, clinics too small or bad roads, for health care professionals to administer the vaccine. There could be a lack of communication between the health professional and the patient on the schedule of receiving vaccines.
b) More temporary facilities and human resources for health should be put in place for people to access the vaccine, this will alleviate the amount of people that have to go wait at a hospital or clinic to receive the vaccine.
