ActiveBackground
In Côte d’Ivoire, VillageReach partnered with the Ministry of Health to increase low COVID-19 vaccination rates.
We established the first COVID-19 vaccinodrome in Yopougon, an urban area in the city of Abidjan. We opened the site in December 2021 with the ability to vaccinate up to 1,000 people a day.
Through our outreach-focused approach, we increased vaccine convenience and used community mobilization to build vaccine demand.
