Announcing Third Call for Bright Spots – Deadline October 31, 2021

Do you have a story of grassroots-driven process improvement in sub-national immunization service delivery?

The Boost Community’s 2021 call for Bright Spots seeks stories focused on key lessons learned from implementing immunization programs during the COVID-19 pandemic as well as returning to routine immunization.

Given the current infodemic, we are particularly interested in sharing stories that addressed misinformation and strengthened vaccine acceptance and demand in communities leading to vaccine uptake. This could include, for example, how social media platforms were used to help drive behavior change.

Selected stories will be showcased and shared within the Boost Community and elevated to key immunization stakeholders. The deadline to apply is October 31, 2021 and the application form takes as little as 10-15 minutes. Apply here!
