Vaccination strategies–adapted from World Health Organization (8).

Strategies	Description
Routine vaccination	A systematic approach to vaccination aimed at controlling diseases preventable by vaccines through widespread coverage.
Routine vaccination intensification	Targeting individuals who have not been vaccinated or have not completed their vaccination doses.
Rapid monitoring of immunisation coverage (RMC)	A method to assess vaccination coverage and identify unvaccinated individuals within susceptible populations by checking vaccination records, such as child vaccination cards, during homecare visits.
Catch-up vaccination	Action of vaccinating an individual who, for whatever reason, is missing or has not received doses of vaccines for which they are eligible, per the national immunisation schedule.
Community-wide vaccination	Conducted when there are one or more suspected cases of a disease with a high potential of spread
Ring vaccination	Used to control the spread of infectious diseases. It involves identifying cases of the disease, then vaccinating and monitoring all the contacts and contacts of contacts around each case to form a ‘ring’ of immunity and prevent further spread
