Learn more about the Immunization Challenge and how increasing routine childhood immunization rates in low-coverage areas could prevent millions of childhood deaths.
DISTRIBUTION MODEL INNOVATION
ChildACT increases routine childhood immunizations through SMS reminders to caregivers and supportive community engagement. The team envisions reaching two-thirds of Nigerian children to secure vaccinations by their first birthday.
ChildACT invests in communities through social mobilization and provides SMS reminders towards immunization of children and purposeful development. The team is motivated to realize this vision with experience in private sector efficiency, public health, and community relations. The team will mobilize stakeholders to improve and support immunization demand, while empowering caregivers through a reminder system to access immunization for children in their care.
