Rwanda Red Cross Volunteers are conducting an awareness exercise mobilizing communities for the upcoming vaccination campaign.
The exercise is taking place in Kigali City and Gisagara District ahead of the vaccination that will see millions of Children being vaccinated against Measles and Rubella across the country.
Over 1000 Rwanda Red Cross volunteers are participating in the mobilization exercise in Gisagara District, educating residents on the importance of the vaccination campaign against measles and rubella.
The campaign targets children between 9 months and 14 years. Rwanda Red Cross Volunteers are working to reach every home In Nyaruguru District before the vaccination kicks off on 12th.
The population is aware of the importance of vaccinating children against measles and other diseases. But Rwanda Red Cross volunteers mobilizing communities for the upcoming vaccination campaign say they visit some households only to be received by housekeepers, whom they don’t think transmit the message properly.
In a move that is likely to bring a solution to the challenge, Local authorities have pledged support for the mobilization campaign.
The vaccination campaign against measles and Rubella will be held from 12th to 15th March.
