Introduction and implementation of an immunization information system in the Indonesian province of Daerah Istimewa Yogyakarta: lessons for scaling-up

Immunization is critical to saving children from infections. To increase vaccination coverage, valid and real-time data are needed. Accordingly, it is essential to have a good report system that serves as defaulter tracking to prevent children's immunization failure. The Daerah Istimewa Yogyakarta (DIY) Health Office introduced an electronic immunization registry and successfully implemented it for more than five years. It is the only individual-based record system in Indonesia that has been sustainably operated for a long time. Yet, no systematic assessment of this system has been conducted to date. This study examines the Sistem Informasi Imunisasi Terpadu (SIMUNDU) introduction and implementation process with a view to extracting lessons that could inform scalability and sustainability across the country.
