In this participatory course, we will build understanding of 1. Applying social behavioural insights to develop effective communications and other demand interventions, 2. Diagnosing the contextual and programmatic determinants of vaccine uptake, and 3. Designing tailored, targeted demand strategies to address immunity gaps in routine immunization programs, SIAs, and new vaccine introductions.
