This is a press release from the Alliance of Public Health Advocates.
Addressing the youth’s waning vaccine confidence through education and awareness, the Alliance of Public Health Advocates (ALPHA) trained youth leaders to formulate campaigns for effective health services.
Dubbed the Angat Kalusugan Operations (AKO) Initiative, the campaign seeks to promote education and awareness of vaccination, particularly on Measles-Rubella Oral Polio Vaccine Supplementary Immunization Activity (MR-OPV-SIA) and COVID-19 vaccines. The campaign was launched on February 1.
Led by health advocates from San Pablo, Laguna, the Angat Kalusugan Operations Initiative features an online information drive, youth governance camp, and a health education camp titled “BakUNA MUNA.” The activities aim to address youth’s concerns about vaccination.
