Updated SNIDs planning guidelines were developed by the Federal EPI and distributed to
states. Each state conducted several mee�ngs with the locality staff to update their micro-plan
based on lesson learned from pervious SIAs.

Each state compiled the locality micro-plans into the state plan, which was submi�ed to the
Federal EPI unit for review and funding. The required fund was provided by GPEI through WHO
and UNICEF.

Logistics:

Vaccines, ice packs and blocks, tally sheets, monitoring forms, aprons, were distributed accord-

In each locality, supply centers headed by EPI technical officers were established. Each center
is responsible for the vaccine and other logis�cs distribu�on and also the collec�on of the filled
tally sheets. The EPI technical officers review the summary forms that are prepared by the
team leaders and submit the results to the opera�on room to be discussed in the evening
mee�ng.
