New Bright Spots Stories!

In an ongoing effort to shine a light on voices of innovation and adaptability in the immunization sector, Boost supports a storytelling initiative called Bright Spots, which highlight stories of grassroots-driven process improvement in routine immunization service delivery. Learn more about this initiative.

This third round of Bright Spots includes six new stories focused on key lessons learned from implementing immunization programs during the COVID-19 pandemic as well as returning to routine immunization. Given the current infodemic, we also wanted to emphasize stories that addressed misinformation and strengthened vaccine acceptance and demand in communities leading to vaccine uptake.

We hope that these Bright Spots shine a light on the work that is happening on the ground and inspire immunization professionals everywhere to learn, adapt and take action to drive behavior change and build back better.

The final set of stories from this round are now LIVE on our Bright Spots website!

Learn how GRID3 technical consultant, Chisenga Musuka, facilitated a micro-planning training session with immunization professionals in Muchinga province, Zambia on how to use new maps effectively to support immunization micro-planning, including population, settlement locations, boundaries, points of interest and health facility catchment areas.

Tikakaran Chakra: A Tool to Increase Awareness on Timely Vaccination

Learn about the creation and importance of the Tikakaran Chakra, an immunization wheel created by the Government of Madhya Pradesh (GoMP) and Clinton Health Access Initiative (CHAI) to improve the communication capacity of frontline workers and ultimately enhance demand for routine immunization in Madhya Pradesh state, India.

In the coming months, Boost members are invited to engage with story submitters through live engagements that will highlight promising practices from selected Bright Spots stories. These sessions will provide you with an opportunity to interact with and learn from your peers.
