MassDose

What MassDose does

The campaign round: a mass drug administration or a vaccination round with its areas, its dates and the commodity being given. Every doorstep is one line — the dose given, or the refusal, absence or exclusion that is not one, each of which has to say why. Coverage is a division computed from those lines against a target population somebody entered WITH ITS SOURCE, and adverse events hang off the dose they followed. VaxVault keeps the individual child’s schedule; this keeps the campaign.

How you actually use it

1. 1Plan a round and add its areasA name, the kind (Mass drug administration or Vaccination round), what is given as the campaign names it, and the start date; Start it when the round begins. Each village or ward carries its target population and where that number came from — a target without a source is refused, leaving the target blank is allowed, and no number is invented.
2. 2Log every doorstepPerson, age, sex and the outcome — Given, Refused, Absent or Ineligible. Anything other than a dose given has to say why, and doses go only into a running round.
3. 3Read coverage by areaGiven, refused, absent and ineligible sit beside each other. Where no target population was recorded the row says no denominator instead of showing a percentage.
4. 4Record an adverse eventAgainst the dose it followed: severity Mild, Moderate or Severe, the outcome if known, and what happened in at least a sentence. Record outcome revises it later, and Record ack writes down the AEFI acknowledgement you got back — nothing is filed from here.
5. 5Close the roundClose asks how the round went and keeps the note on the round.

What it does not do

It does not produce a coverage percentage without a denominator somebody recorded and sourced — an area with no target population shows its dose count and no figure — and it does not file an AEFI report anywhere; the acknowledgement a person gets back after filing one is written down beside the event.
