  13. Injection Safety • Main component of national EPI plans • Routine immunization activities. • Supplementary immunization activities. • Basic principles include: • Equipment: • Use of disposable / AD syringes. • Proper collection of used syringes; “Safety Boxes” • Proper disposal of used syringes; “Burning / incineration” • Manpower: • Training of health workers.

  14. Injection Safety Planned activities • Development of a regional toolbox including a curriculum and IEC material for training of health workers on injection safety. • Training of trainers in all Member States. • Training of peripheral health workers in all Member States.

  15. Injection Safety Planned activities • Countries planning to conduct mass campaigns will conduct a survey of the safety of injection and prepare a special plan for insuring safety of injection. • Campaign evaluation should include a quantified assessment of injection safety.

  16. Injection Safety Planned activities • Revised national plans on safety of routine and supplementary immunizations will be developed based on injection safety surveys. • All countries will document satisfactory injection safety in routine and supplementary immunization services.
