Step 4: Develop a communication plan

The plan should broadly address the following issues.

• 
  The communication activities in response to specific problems in the immunization program
  
• 
  The personnel and resources required
  
• 
  Timeline for implementation
  
• 
  Monitoring mechanisms.
  

Based on the prioritization of areas described in Table 9.4,

prepare a communication plan as outlined in Table 7.3.

Channels and tools for communicating information on immunization

The Immunization Program uses many different communication methods to reach parents and other target audiences e.g. radio, television, folk media, community meetings, and interpersonal communication during sessions. At the PHC level, you can effectively use the channels and tools for involving and informing the community about immunization services. (See Table 7.4)
