Community Health Workers are often unsung heroes who play an essential role in their community’s health and improve public health vaccination campaigns through education and outreach efforts. Yet, only 20 out of 75 African countries allow Community Health Workers to administer life-saving vaccines.
Empowering Community Health Workers as vaccinators would help millions more children catch up on their routine vaccinations.
VillageReach is leading global advocacy efforts to authorize Community Health Workers as vaccinators. By empowering Community Health Workers, we can boost routine vaccination rates among children and ease the burden on other overworked healthcare professionals.
