According to the World Health Organization<\/strong>, expanding access to immunization is critical to achieving the country\u2019s goals of sustainable development. Vaccination, in addition to preventing diseases such as influenza, pneumonia, pertussis or measles, as well as the deaths caused by these diseases, facilitates the monitoring of national priorities such as education and livelihoods. For this reason, Sanofi Pasteur has recognized for the past three years the people who support vaccination in the country and who are dedicated to saving lives.<\/p>\n

It is estimated immunization prevents between 2 and 3 million deaths per year globally, but if immunization coverage is improved, it could prevent another 1.5 million deaths. Mexico is an example in immunization because, thanks to the implementation of various vaccination campaigns, the country has vaccination coverage of 90% of the population under five years.<\/p>\n

Given this background, it was carried out the 3rd Edition of the \u2018Vaccinate to Provide Opportunities\u2019<\/strong>, award, which aims to disseminate best practices in immunization and recognize the trajectory of doctors and civil organizations in this field.<\/p>\n

The \u2018Vaccinate to Provide Opportunities\u2019<\/strong> award take place since 2015 and has two categories: Professional Trajectory and Best Practices.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This year in the category of Best Practices<\/strong>, the prize was awarded to the Comprehensive Information System on Vaccination<\/strong> (Sistema Integral de Informaci\u00f3n en Vacunaci\u00f3n, SIIVAC), developed by Carlos Slim Foundation. <\/strong><\/p>\n

The goal is expanding health care coverage to ensure universal and effective vaccination through SIIVAC,<\/strong> by allowing registering and accessing on a digital platform the vaccines each child has received to control their coverage. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

In addition, the system provides updated, timely and accurate information for epidemiological surveillance by health center, health jurisdiction and state, to implement strategies to complete vaccination schedules and achieve better results against vaccine preventable diseases.<\/p>\n

SIIVAC,<\/strong> developed by Carlos Slim Foundation<\/strong> in alliance with Gonzalo R\u00edo Arronte Foundation<\/strong> and the Ministry of Health<\/strong>, is part of a project to reengineer the Universal Vaccination Program<\/strong> and is technologically based on Electronic Immunization Records<\/strong> (Cartilla Electr\u00f3nica de Vacunaci\u00f3n, CEV)<\/p>\n
