1. Terms of Reference – Development of Print and Mass Media materials for Flu Vaccination Campaign

Background

The first cases of infection with influenza A (H1N1) pdm09 virus were in April 2009. A total of 214 countries and territories have reported laboratory confirmed cases of H1N1 with 18,138 deaths. The rapid spread of this disease resulted in WHO declaring a global pandemic in June 2009. However, following this pandemic, many people had been infected and the population had developed immunity to Influenza A (H1N1) pdm09. Since then, this strain has been causing seasonal influenza outbreaks every year around the world.

Sporadic occurrences of Influenza A and B of subtypes such as H1N1, H3N2, Yamagata and Victoria lineage cases have been identified in the Maldives.  Influenza surveillance and testing was initiated in the country in 2014 under a project funded by Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. In 2015, National Influenza Laboratory was established at Indira Gandhi Memorial Hospital (IGMH). This included procurement of PCR machine, other equipment and consumables. Prior to this, testing was done abroad by sending nasopharyngeal samples of influenza suspected patients.

The first influenza epidemic which occurred in March 2017 was verified through laboratory testing. During this outbreak 278 samples tested positive for H1N1 and 38 samples tested positive for H3N2. 36.6% of total tested samples were positive for influenza. Number of SARI patients with severe symptoms increased significantly. It was observed that flu symptoms worsened for pregnant women and for high risk patients. There were 6 deaths during the outbreak. There was a seasonal peak of influenza A (H3N2) during May-June 2018.

Record shows that more than 68,308 people were vaccinated in 2017 and 32,708 were vaccinated in 2018. It is possible that due to increased number of people getting flu vaccinated and the vaccines provided covered circulating strains (H1N1 and H3N2) in both the years, severity of symptoms were reduced in some patients. In addition, effort was taken to sensitize high risk population on the importance of getting vaccinated.

This ToR is an effort to contribute towards behavior change in the community as to motivate the public getting vaccinated for flu routinely each year.
