UNICEF
Tanzania is preparing for a potential joining of the COVAX Facility (a
GAVI-administered mechanism to ensure COVID-19 vaccines are affordable
and available to all countries) by the Government of Tanzania, which
would allow Tanzania to access subsidized vaccine pricing at the same
time as wealthier nations. Should this materialize, UNICEF would plan to
procure and deliver doses of the COVID-19 vaccine to Tanzania.
It
is imperative to implement a communication action plan that includes
communication to generate an enabling environment for public acceptance
of safe and effective COVID-19 vaccines whilst enhancing trust in and
demand for vaccines and immunization more broadly and continuing to
maintain adherence to other non-pharmaceutical interventions. There is
growing evidence of vaccine delays or refusals due to a lack of trust in
the importance, safety, or effectiveness of vaccines, alongside
persisting access issues. Community trust is key to ensure vaccine
uptake and buy-in. To build trust, it is important to understand how
communities perceive the disease and what are their main questions,
doubts, and fears around vaccines, generally, and towards COVID-19
vaccine, more specifically. Previous experience of pandemics and
communities’ risk perception about the disease can also influence
vaccine uptake. Lack of trust in service providers, past negative
experience of vaccination and poor quality of services including
negative attitude of service providers may also affect the decision to
accept a new vaccine in certain contexts. Similarly, it will be
important to understand the trusted source of vaccine, influencers etc.
Families and communities need to be provided with accurate and up to
date information on COVID-19 vaccine, based on evidence generated from
social listening and behavior and social data, which will
