Abstract

The Millennium Challenge Corporations Immunization Threshold Program (MCC-ITP) for Peru was implemented by the United States Agency for International Development in Peru (USAID/Peru), and from October 2008 through February 201. A USAID/Peru contractor implemented the program with the goal of expanding coverage of one-year old infants who have received immunization against measles and the full series of three diphtheria, pertussis and tetanus (DPT3) vaccinations, so that immunization rates of 95% are reached in each of Peru's regions and, thus, nationally. In order to reach the immunization threshold, the MOH designed a strategy to complement the National Immunization Strategy based on three components: increased vaccination in eight target regions through use of Itinerant Brigades (IBs) to access dispersed and excluded populations, strengthened vaccine logistics such as cold chain management and the creation of a national integrated immunization information system (IIIS).
