mobilize domestic resources
in support of vaccine
rollout.”

1
2
Unpredictable quantity of vaccine donations
Shelf life: minimum of 10 weeks shelf life up on arrival3
Early notice and communications: not less than 4 weeks

KEY ASKS TO IMPROVE VACCINATION IN AFRICA
▪ Strong political support is needed
▪ Bring vaccines to people - NOT people to vaccines
▪ Large scale & mobile vaccination campaigns are needed
▪ Community engagement and risk communications are
key for vaccination campaigns
▪ Ensure supply and availability of essential ancillaries
