Part 4/8:
The community’s trust in familiar and respected figures is a linchpin in success. For example, church leaders and local organizations used their existing networks to facilitate vaccine uptake, often going door-to-door or hosting on-site vaccination events. One such initiative involved hosting events at The King's Canvas, where community members could enjoy art, music, and family-friendly entertainment—all while having convenient access to vaccines. This relaxed, culturally relevant environment helps demystify vaccination and reduces barriers to participation.
