The Momentum Routine Immunization Transformation & Equity project in Nagaland, in collaboration with ISRN, held a “Learning and Experience Sharing Meeting” to celebrate their efforts in reaching remote areas with COVID-19 vaccinations. The event featured distinguished guests from the government and development partners, community voices, a photo gallery walk, and panel discussions on COVID-19 vaccination learnings
The Project partnered with local change agents such as community leaders, local NGOs, and others to mobilize communities. The Project complemented the efforts of the State Government to maximize reach, build vaccine confidence, and increase COVID-19 vaccine uptake among vulnerable and marginalized population groups. The collaborative efforts have ensured that people in the state are completely aware of and realize the importance of COVID-19 vaccination. Smt.
