"Timeliness of Vaccination" was in 75% of total users - minimum (61.9%) at the village of the farthest sub-centre. Children vaccinated were not observed for AEFI. Supply of vaccines was adequate with the cold chain maintained. Early expiry first out was followed for vaccines. Micro-planning and Alternate vaccine delivery followed guidelines. Vaccine lifting efficiency was 100%. Counterfoils available at session sites were 51.85%. Awareness amongst healthcare providers regarding Pentavalent vaccine was adequate and it was being administered. ANMs were delivering, not, all four key messages to the care-givers. Duplication of work for data reporting was found; data was consistent. Supervision was more by MO than LHV. ASHAs and AWWs were playing good role as mobilizers.
