The VCM register is the main routine data collection tool designed for volunteer community mobilizers (VCM) at the settlement level. The front page indicates the settlement, Ward and LGA. VCMs have been trained and supervised to record numbers of children immunized with Polio vaccine and other RI antigens. The register is simple to complete and lists all children under 5 years within the settlement. The second part captures immunization data during polio campaigns. The third section indicates the date a child in the register receives a vaccine. The VCMs are also mentored to capture special events that occur in-between rounds. Coded 1-10, these 10 special events include in-home events such as pregnant women and naming ceremony and those child-specific such as referral, malnutrition, AFP, measles, etc.
