Moreover, a standard data collection template/format was developed by ISS/Sapienza in order to collect in a standardised way information by consortium country on A) Dimension of immigration and reception system; B) National Health System (NHS); C) Immunization services and vaccination offer.
Deliverable 4.2 (WP4) General Conceptual Framework
Based on the results of the tasks of the Work Package 4, a General Conceptual Framework (GCF) has been developed for understanding “How to improve the vaccination coverage for NAM” through the characterization and critical analysis of the system barriers and possible solutions in the logic steps required for the optimal delivery of an inclusive immunisation program for NAM. It considers all steps taken in the health care pathway from access to appropriate health services to completion of needed vaccination, addressing also dropout, and adopting a life‐course approach to immunization for children, adolescents, adults and elderly.
Deliverable 5.1 (WP5) Migrant-centered and migrant-sensitive Glossary of vaccination essential definitions
This document outlines the process behind drafting, validating, and translating the Glossary of Essential Vaccination Terms for the ActoVax4NAM project. Sapienza led the development of this glossary, aligning with the project's objective of enhancing networking capacity among institutional and non-institutional organisations to address vaccine literacy and migrant sensitivity in the healthcare system, particularly regarding newly arrived migrants (NAM) immunisation. The glossary aims to facilitate vaccination access for NAM and improve the healthcare system's responsiveness to vaccine literacy. By providing relevant professionals with easily accessible vaccine information, it strengthens their ability to advocate for NAM’s vaccination access.
