Overview
Missed Opportunities for Vaccination is a strategy to Increase routine immunization coverage by making better use of existing vaccination sites; health facilities and immunization clinics (WHO). MOV is not only a strategy of improving immunization coverage, it is also an opportunity for unvaccinated or partially vaccinated childrens to complete their vaccines to prevent diseases.

Increasing RI Coverage by Reducing Missed Opportunities for Vaccination
The MOV strategy is about establishing a system so that any child/person eligible for vaccination who comes to a health facility/mobile health service (for whatever reason), receives the needed vaccines during their visit.
Missed opportunities for vaccination can occur during visits to health facilities/mobile health services for immunization (“vaccination contact”), as well as during visits to health facilities/mobile health services for curative services (e.g. treatment of mild fever, cough, diarrhoea, bruises; “treatment contact”), other preventive services (e.g. growth monitoring, nutrition assessments and oral rehydration training sessions, etc.), or while accompanying a family member to a health facility for any type of service.
