Vaccination remains one of the most effective public health interventions. Every dollar spent yields significant returns by reducing the disease burden and improving overall public health outcomes.
As trusted community members, Community Health Workers (CHWs) bridge gaps in access, build vaccine confidence, and extend services to the hardest-to-reach.
Evidence from countries including Kenya, Uganda, and Malawi shows that CHW-led interventions can dramatically improve vaccine uptake while reducing costs.
With proper training and support, CHWs can safely administer vaccines, generate demand, and ensure continuity of care—making them a cost-effective strategy for resilient health systems.
