VACCINOMETER WHEEL PLUS, plastic, English

A device designed to monitor and track vaccination status of children aged 0 to 59 months. The Vaccinometer displays new and catch-up vaccine doses for which a child might be eligible, based on his/her age and vaccination history.

• Two rotating cardboard disks designed to display vaccination information:
• the outer circle shows the child's age, from birth to 8 years, marked in weeks, months, and years
• a list of diseases and corresponding vaccines is displayed
• a 3-coloured window indicates the vaccination schedule based on the child's age:
• red: no dose required
• blue: new dose required
• yellow: catch-up dose required
• The reverse side includes instructions for use
• Available in two language versions: English or French

• Determine the child's age: ask for the child's age and align the arrows on the vaccinometer to the oldest age already reached by the child.
• Assess vaccination history: ask which vaccine doses the child has already received. If the vaccination history cannot be certified, consider the child is not vaccinated.
• Compare with the vaccinometer display: review the recommended doses for each vaccine shown in the 3-colour window of the vaccinometer
• Determine required doses: based on the window colour for each vaccine:
• Red: do not administer this vaccine at th current age
• Blue: administer one new dose of this vaccine if the child's vaccination is up to date and the minimum interval from the previous dose is respected.
• Yellow: administer one catch-up dose of this vaccine if the vaccination is NOT up to date and the minimum interval from the previous dose is respected.

MSF exclusive tool developed by MSF vaccination referents, based on the WHO recommendation tables for catch-up vaccination (December 2024).

For children with specific medical conditions (e.g. asplenia, HIV, sickle cell anaemia), refer to the appropriate vaccination protocols.

As vaccination schedules are specific to each country, always ensure that the vaccines offered align with the applicable national regulations.
