Training on implementing activities to enhance immunization work and data management for the Expanded Immunization Program.

Over four days (December 16-19, 2025), the Ca Mau Provincial Center for Disease Control (CDC), in collaboration with the National Institute of Hygiene and Epidemiology, organized a training course on implementing activities to strengthen immunization work and manage Expanded Immunization Program (EIP) data. Participants included representatives from the National Institute of Hygiene and Epidemiology, the Pasteur Institute of Ho Chi Minh City, and EIP officers from the provincial CDC and regional health centers.

In his opening remarks at the training course, Dr. Nguyen Hong Cau, Deputy Director of the Ca Mau Provincial CDC, emphasized that the Expanded Immunization Program (EIP) plays a particularly important role in preventing and controlling dangerous infectious diseases, contributing to protecting and improving the health of the people. However, in the context of many changes in organizational structure, management areas, and grassroots medical personnel after the merger, the EIP is facing many difficulties and challenges. Therefore, the training course is an opportunity for units to exchange practical experiences, promptly resolve existing problems, and at the same time enhance the professional capacity of local medical staff, contributing to the effective implementation of the EIP in the new phase.

During the training course, participants received updates on essential topics such as: the results of implementing the Expanded Immunization Program (EIP) at the commune level in Ca Mau province during the 2023-2025 period; key activities to strengthen EIP work in 2026; disease surveillance in EIP; management of vaccines, immunization supplies, data and reporting; implementation plan for interventions to strengthen EIP; management of immunization subjects on the National Immunization Information Management System (NIIS); guidance on statistics, data exploitation and use of immunization data on the system…

According to a report from the Ca Mau Provincial Center for Disease Control, vaccination efforts in the province achieved many positive results from 2023 to 2025. The coverage rate of basic vaccines for children remained high. Data for the first 11 months of 2025 also showed significant breakthroughs, with most indicators showing strong increases, including a polio vaccination rate of over 89% and more than 92% of children receiving full vaccinations.
