groupsYour role on VHSND / session day
Make a due list, call the families a day before, bring the children to the session, and follow up those who did not come. Mild fever or pain after a vaccine is normal. Report any serious reaction to the ANM immediately.
Find 'zero-dose' children who never got any vaccine.
