This workshop will focus on organizational theories and models to improve vaccine implementation and evaluation. In the workshop, participants will be provided with an overview of theories and determinant frameworks used in implementation research around vaccines. The workshop will specifically cover how to apply the two specific determinant frameworks, the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR), and the Theoretical Domains Framework (TDF). It will also focus on the organizational readiness for change theory to identify the barriers and facilitators to vaccination program implementation. The workshop’s focus on determinant frameworks (CFIR and TDF) and the theory of organization readiness for change seeks to provide participants with practical tools, evidence-based strategies, and a deeper understanding of implementation science principles to drive tangible improvements in vaccine implementation and evaluation.

Learning objectives

  • Demonstrate proficiency in using CFIR, TDF, and the organizational readiness for change theory, to improve the evaluation and planning of vaccine programs.
  • Identify factors, barriers, and facilitators to vaccine implementation within participants’ specific organizational or community contexts, using the CFIR, TDF, and the theory of organizational readiness for change.
  • Design tailored strategies and interventions based on CFIR and TDF research findings to address identified barriers and leverage facilitators
