Improving COVID-19 Vaccine Demand with Trusted, Community-Based Vaccinators, Malawi

Community Health Workers (CHWs) play a critical role bridging the gap between local communities and public health authorities, providing communities with trusted health information and services and providing authorities with local data and insights. CHWs must be both the expert and living example in times where uncertainty may persist. They are often the first to receive a vaccine in the presence of members of their community, demonstrating their commitment to community health.

Incorporating CHWs into COVID-19 vaccination initiatives has been a key strategy in many countries to respond to concerns and misinformation. The recruitment, training, and support of these CHWs, however, varies

widely between countries and regions, impacting their success in driving COVID-19 vaccine demand.
