Question to both presenters:
As research, this is very interesting - BUT HOW CAN THE TOOLS AND MODELS YOU ARE USING BE IMPLEMENTED IN E.G. DHIS2?
Too often, research is just research, and neither results not methods are finding their way back into the hands of managers and other HMIS users…

Re Lagos impact analysis, and any other area/country:
That vaccination programmes slow down during pandemics is common and to some extent unavoidable - but the really critical aspect is if those children are permanently “lost” or if their vaccinations are just delayed.
In that context - do you plan to do this again when situation has normalised, and then try to estimate what proportion of these children ending up NEVER getting the primary course vaccines?
Is DHIS2 available consistently throughout DRC? How was DHIS2 and its related datasets used in the Eastern DRC Ebola outbreak? How could they have been integrated into the surveillance system used?
