Immunization service availability and readiness in primary health care in pastoral and semi-pastoral CGPP Ethiopia implementation districts

Conclusions and recommendations: Great variability observed in terms of service readiness among HCs and HPs in this study. All PHCUs should be equipped with functional refrigerators that are regularly maintained; all immunization antigens and schedule immunization services should be available at the PHCUs daily to avoid missed opportunities; cold chain managers/immunization service providers should be given supervisory support to ensure that they record refrigerator temperatures.[Ethiop .J.
