    Niger flipchart that promote barrier measures and equitable COVID vaccination

    These flip charts were designed as part of the COVID-19 project in collaboration with the Directorate of Surveillance and Response to Epidemics, of the Ministry of Public Health, Population and Social Affairs of Niger.

    They constitute a collection of messages for the promotion of barrier measures and to promote equitable vaccination against COVID-19. They are intended to serve as a reminder to community relays for community awareness (door-to-door visit, small group discussion, etc.) on COVID-19.

    Considerations for Integrating COVID-19 Vaccination into Immunization Programmes and Primary Health Care for 2022 and beyond

    This document lays out key programmatic considerations essential for moving from mass campaigns for COVID-19 vaccination to integrating COVID-19 vaccination into immunization programmes, PHC and other relevant health services for 2022 and beyond.

    The ultimate aim is to fully explore potential areas for integrating different components of immunization programmes, PHC and health systems. Given the evolving epidemiological nature of the COVID-19 pandemic, this is a living document and will be updated to reflect the changing context, including as policies for COVID-19 vaccinations over the longer term are formulated. Finally, the document is not intended to outline a prescriptive approach but rather to present considerations and options for countries to consider and apply based on their needs and the country context.

      COTE D’IVOIRE: COVID-19 vaccine promotion materials

      These materials originally produced in French, were developed by Breakthrough ACTION Cote d’Ivoire in conjunction with the ministry of Health and RCCE working group partners as part of a broader campaign to promote COVID-19 vaccination. While using the religious leaders, family, children, men and women pictures to deliver COVID-19 vaccination messages, we explored the theories of influence, social influence, reasoned action and planned behavior theory to address lack of knowledge, risk perception and practice.

      The SBC materials include Spots, poster on the following topics:

      • All united, we will stop COVID-19
      • Half protected is not protected
      • Let’s vaccinate our children
      • Half-vaccinated is like half cut your hair
      • Full vaccinated is better protection

      WHO SAGE Roadmap Priority-Use Groups for COVID-19 Vaccine

      This revised Roadmap takes into account increasing vaccine availability, vaccine coverage rates, and the evolving epidemiological situation including COVID-19 variants of concern.

      To assist countries in developing recommendations for optimized use of vaccines against COVID-19, priority-use groups for vaccination (both primary series and booster doses) are identified based on epidemiological scenarios, public health goals, and vaccine coverage scenarios.

      High priority is: Elderly, health workers, immunocompromised. The next tier down, high priority, is adults with co-morbidities, pregnant persons, teachers and other essential workers, disadvantaged socioeconomic subpopulations at higher risk (could be migrants, etc).
