The National Primary Health Care Development Agency (NPHCDA) in Nigeria has developed two videos to help educate the public and publicize the rollout of the COVID-19 vaccines.
Ciheb in Nigeria supported NPHCDA in developing animations for the videos.
“We are proud to be a part of the initiative to help educate the public about the COVID-19 vaccination process in Nigeria,” said Kachi Anukam, ECHO[1] team lead, Ciheb in Nigeria.
One video walks the viewer through the vaccination e-registration process to secure an appointment with the NPHCDA.
The other video provides storage and handling information for four different COVID-19 vaccines: Pfizer-BioNTech, Moderna, AstraZeneca/Oxford, and Johnson & Johnson. Currently, Nigeria has only received the AstraZeneca/Oxford vaccine; however, the video provides general information on all four.
[1] Project ECHO™ (Extension for Community Health Outcomes) is an initiative that uses telemedicine infrastructure to link specialists with facilities in underserved areas. Ciheb in Nigeria is helping support a multi-nation ECHO telementoring project that will better equip healthcare workers to respond to increasing COVID-19 demands in remote locations.
