Friday Nkhoma’s Updates
Reaching Every Child
The Zambia Civil Society Immunization Platform continues to play a part in the countries EPI program in mobilizing comminuties in hard-to-reach areas for vaccination through drama group performances, community voluteer outreach and defaulter tracing. Next month is the second and last dose for HPV vaccine for girls in Lusaka and the Platform will play it's role in community mobilization.
Excellent work, Mr. Nkhoma. Your works have been very instrumental and need to be replicated in other areas where the Civil Society Immunization Platform activity intervention are really required.
Dear Friday,
There is something that is really interesting, it is definitely the stewardship and leadership but also the shared responsibility and strong linkage with the community. I am happy to see that in the small paragraph you wrote here. There are only words like Civil Society Immunization Platform, mobilizing communities in hard-to-reach areas, drama group performances, community volunteer outreach, no mention of words like districts, health care facilities and so for. Congrats for the level of involvement of the community there.
Please, I am interesting on the strategies used for implementing HPV vaccine, from its introduction, routine or mass campaigns, that is for me something that you should share with us. We all need to learn about HPV vaccine strategies of implementation.
Congratulations and all the best for your second round next month.
