VAnguard social science and engagement study reports

This page contains three reports produced by the study team: [1] The ‘VAnguard Community Engagement report’ documents the field activities performed to prepare for ethnographic research in Koome Sub county in September 2023.

Through stakeholder meetings, community barazas, and guided walks, the team gathered vital data on how misinformation, geographic isolation, and limited healthcare infrastructure contribute to vaccine hesitancy. The findings highlight a significant disparity in immunisation coverage across different villages, often exacerbated by high transport costs and a lack of health education. [2] The second document is a guide for Stakeholder Consultation and Categories that serves as a strategic manual for conducting consultations within the VAnguard project.
