What they are saying about Teach to Reach

Dr Kate O’Brien, Director of Immunization, World Health Organization (WHO):
“Learning happens best when people seek answers to their specific daily challenges. Teach to Reach is proof that immunization professionals are hungry to learn, and hungry to share.”

Maneya Mwansakilwa, Midwife (MOH), Kanyama, Zambia :
“Through Teach to Reach, I learned that HPV vaccination cannot be achieved if health care workers work in isolation without involving other stakeholders.”

Lora Shimp, Director, Immunization Center, JSI:
“I’m joining Teach to Reach 9 because it is so critical to learn with immunization service providers on their ‘real‑world’ experiences in reaching populations with vaccination.”

Nabweggamo Habibah, Community health worker (MOH), Mukono district, Nama subcounty, Uganda:
Teach to Reach has helped me learn to monitor and advocate for timely delivery of vaccines for children in my community.”
