Immunization Initiative
Work Plan
There are risks and costs
to a program of action. But
they are far less than the
long-range risks and costs of
comfortable inaction."
-John F. Kennedy

Immunization safeguards
the health of health care
workers and protects
patients from becoming
infected through exposure
to infected workers
In 1993
estimated 1,450 workers became infected
with hepatitis B through exposure to blood
and serum-derived body fluids
5%-10% of HBV-infected workers become
chronically infected
Step 2
Plan the Campaign
Obtain Organizational Commitment
"Unless commitment
is made,
there are only promises
and hopes;
but no plans."
-Peter F. Drucker
Obtain Organizational Commitment
Develop a Policy
If your faculty does not have a formal policy on Hepatitis B
immunization, develop one, have it approved, and
disseminate it.
What are the main things you want to achieve with the campaign?
Objectives should be SMART
Specific : clearly stated and understood
Measurable : Results are defined (quality and quantity)
Achievable : Within the competencies and capabilities of the team
Realistic : Within the realistic control and scope of each team member
Timed : Definite time goal
Examples
To increase awareness about the risk of acquiring Hepatitis B among medical students by
conducting at least 2 disease awareness activities this year.
To vaccinate at least 100 medical students in year 3 against hepatitis B by the end of this
year.
To achieve at least 90% vaccination rates among medical students entering co-as by the
year 2013 by conducting disease awareness campaigns and vaccination clinics throughout
the year.
