Enhancing Vaccine Rollout and Evaluation Through Implementation Science
This workshop explores how organizational theories and determinant frameworks can be strategically applied to improve vaccine implementation and evaluation. Designed for professionals involved in public health planning, evaluation, and service delivery, the session offers a focused introduction to two widely used frameworks in implementation research: the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR) and the Theoretical Domains Framework (TDF).
Participants will learn how to apply these frameworks, along with the Theory of Organizational Readiness for Change, to identify and address barriers and facilitators that influence the uptake and success of vaccination programs. Emphasis will be placed on practical applications, with participants engaging in structured exercises that translate theoretical insights into actionable strategies for real-world implementation challenges. By the end of the session, participants will be equipped with tools and frameworks to enhance planning, evaluation, and scale-up efforts for vaccine programs, grounded in implementation science best practices.
By the end of the workshop, participants will be able to:
- Apply CFIR, TDF, and the Theory of Organizational Readiness for Change to assess and strengthen the planning and evaluation of vaccine programs.
- Identify multilevel factors, including barriers and facilitators, that affect vaccine implementation in their specific organizational or community contexts.
- Develop tailored implementation strategies informed by CFIR and TDF findings to address identified challenges and enhance vaccine program effectiveness.
