his guidance details basic decontamination principles and procedures that should be followed to decontaminate the physical environment in the context of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. Surface contamination and transmission risk all differ by the type of setting and the volume of p...eople that frequent each setting (e.g. healthcare facilities, public transport, and other busy facilities/workplaces), even though the principles of environmental decontamination remain the same.

This updated (second) version supersedes the previous version published in 16 November 2020. New information has been added on the following areas:
    the COVID-19 Partners Platform;
    the use of COVID...-19 simulation exercises to test deployment strategies;
    the indemnity agreement and no-fault compensation programme for vaccines secured through the COVAX Facility in the Advance Market Commitment (AMC) eligible economies;
    the availability and use of the WHO-UNICEF COVID-19 Vaccine Introduction and deployment Costing (CVIC) tool;
    the COVAX Facility’s humanitarian buffer that enables allocation of vaccine to cover high-risk populations in humanitarian settings;
    recommendations for vaccination of pregnant and lactating women;
    supplementary information on infection prevention and control (IPC) measures to be used to deliver COVID-19 vaccines safely;
    the WHO licensed COVID-19 vaccines product-specific information;
    use of geospatial data and digital micro plans for equitable access and delivery of COVID-19 vaccines;
    lessons learned from the development of NDVPs and early experiences in COVID-19 vaccine deployment in countries; and
    updated additional resources at the end of each chapter.

As countries face challenges with erratic vaccine supplies, use of multiple vaccine products with different charact...eristics, and the size of populations and their diversity, this document provides operational guidance and information to support planners and immunization programme managers at the national and sub-national levels on microplanning for COVID-19 vaccination implementation.

Conversely, children raised in homes with inconsistent ...and harsh parenting or with high levels of conflict can be adversely impacted.
