HOW YOU CAN USE THIS MATERIAL:

Community health workers can use the toolkit to gain the knowledge and confidence to educate communities about the importance of vaccination, and to guide people through the vaccination process.

OVERVIEW:

Community health workers (CHWs) often face barriers like misinformation about vaccines, inadequate educational resources, and limited time for training. Digital Medic has created a free digital toolkit to help address these challenges and equip CHWs with the knowledge and communication strategies to increase vaccine uptake around the world. The Supporting Vaccination toolkit contains videos and other mobile-friendly materials that CHWs can review at their convenience. The toolkit is currently available in English, with additional languages coming soon.
