Following global trends, Zambia anticipated a fourth COVID-19 wave in December 2021. As of November 2021, only 12.5% of the eligible population were fully vaccinated, and 4.6% had received their first dose. To get more people vaccinated and help protect against severe forms of COVID-19 and the associated mortality, the Ministry of Health (MOH) launched the campaign; "Get Vaccinated. Fight COVID-19. Protect Zambia: Two Million Doses in Arms By End of December 2021."
The USAID DISCOVER-Health Project, implemented by JSI Research & Training Institute, Inc. (JSI), supported the MOH campaign in December by holding a community mobilization strategy meeting with local civic, traditional, and religious leadership. This abstract was shared at the AIDS 2022 Conference.
We strive to build lasting relationships to produce better health outcomes for all.
