Establishing a Monitoring and Evaluation Framework for COVID Vaccines – Standard Indicators with scoping review

by time news

The COVID-19 vaccine is “Main Tools” used by all countries around the world To prevent people infected with COVID-19 Severe symptoms and death Governments need to monitor and evaluate the success of vaccination policies. that will lead to effective planning and setting measures

Of course, the COVID-19 vaccine is new Currently, many countries, including Thailand, do not have a monitoring and evaluation framework.

for monitoring and evaluation systematically preparation required “Standard indicators” Under the framework of monitoring and evaluation, which will play an important role in monitoring and evaluating Thailand’s performance related to the COVID-19 vaccine, especially in the latter phase of the vaccine. (Post-vaccination)

with the limitations of COVID-19 This led the researchers of the Health Technology and Policy Assessment Project (HITAP) network to use the method. “Literature review with a scope” (scoping review) from academic events from many countries around the world as well as analyzing and synthesizing the data into policy recommendations.

All of this is under heart research. “A Challenge Study Project to Develop a Framework for Monitoring and Evaluation of the COVID-19 Vaccine Policy in Thailand” หรือ Understanding the challenges to develop monitoring and evaluation framework for COVID-19 vaccination policy in Thailand

In a scoped literature review or scoping review, it is a method of synthesizing data.appropriate under a limited time frame. The research team has studied and determined the scope of literature related to the monitoring and evaluation framework. Both at the vaccination stage and after vaccination from around the world as well as identifying and collecting indicators – synthetic lessons To lead the development of a vaccine monitoring and evaluation framework for the COVID-19 vaccination. in the context of Thailand

Monitoring and Evaluation Framework It is important to the performance of health workers. including policy makers The framework is not for planning purposes only. But it also creates learning and reflects the gaps in knowledge.

for establishing a framework for monitoring and evaluation Researchers under the Health Technology and Policy Assessment Program (HITAP) divided the study into three phases: 1. Scoped literature review To study and compile indicators for monitoring and evaluating vaccines from countries around the world. 2. Expert and Stakeholder Meeting To present the results of a scope review of the literature. and jointly consider the indicators appropriate to the Thai context. 3. Preparation of standard indicators for the COVID-19 vaccine in Thailand

drill data from doing scoping review

Data from international electronic databases A total of 4,288 literatures were found, of which 2,089 were duplicated. The research team “selected” the literature for review. from the title, the abstract, as well as the entire reading Finally, there are literature that have been selected to be included. 71 subject

Most of them are from middle- to high-income countries. in European and African countries

The results of the synthesis of data from scoping reviews can group indicators for monitoring and evaluating the COVID-19 vaccine. Recently, the vaccine has been available. (Post-vaccination) divided into 3 Composition as follows:

Monitoring and Evaluation Framework How does it reflect the spread of the disease?

Number of studies involved in monitoring and evaluating various vaccines increased since about 2006, with the most studies seen in 2018, and the study between Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) and the COVID-19 Pandemic was the most common. big

reflects the information that The number of vaccine monitoring and evaluation framework studies has not been large compared to other outbreaks.

Policy recommendations from expert and stakeholder meetings

1. Follow-up and evaluation actions It should be the integration of cooperation from many sectors. The main responsible unit for each indicator may be a leader in the process. based on information Resources and cooperation from other agencies or sectors related in order to operate efficiently

2. Some indicators can be used for monitoring and assessment at both national and local levels. Therefore, the implementation of the indicators Therefore, it must be adapted to the context of each level as well.

3. The context of the disease varies, such as epidemics, non-communicable diseases, and therefore monitoring and evaluation using indicators should be considered and adapted appropriately.

4. The monitoring and evaluation should take into account the objectivity of the operation. therefore may lead other agencies participate in the monitoring and evaluation process as well

5. Uncontrollable Vaccine Factors Should not be used as an indicator such as the number of vaccines that are sufficient for the population in the situation of COVID-19.

6. Vaccine Supply Chain Management This is an issue that is of great importance. Therefore, there should be indicators that can be closely monitored and assessed at each stage of the vaccine supply chain, such as vaccine procurement. transport of vaccines vaccine storage

7. Communication Issues both internal communication communication between organizations And journalism is an important factor that should be monitored and evaluated.
