Sierra Leone: Mobile health teams bring COVID-19 vaccination to hard-to-reach communities, December 2022
Description
Residents of the village of Makontakay, Sierra Leone, meet under a mango tree to be vaccinated against COVID-19 from a mobile health team on 8 December 2022.
Makontakay and Kamoi villages are located near one another in Bombali District, Sierra Leone. The nearest health facility serving the villages is the Masselleh Community Health Post (CHP) which is approximately 20 kilometres of dirt roads from the nearest city, Makeni. Masselleh CHP serves approximately 3400 people in its catchment area – mostly farmers in hard-to-reach communities. Nurses at the Masselleh use motorbikes, canoes or walk on foot to reach the many small communities throughout their catchment area.
Makontakay is a is a farming community home to 290 people. To reach Masselleh CHP, residents of the village must travel seven kilometres along small dirt tracks with numerous water crossings. For much of the year the village is only accessible by motorbike or on foot. Kamoi is about 1.5 kilometres from Makontakay. A narrow dirt track joins the two communities. The community of 196 people are almost all farmers. Most residents in the community do not have the resources to make the journey to the health post, which means that mobile outreach campaigns are the only way that most community members are able to get vaccinated against COVID-19.
In January 2022, WHO, UNICEF and Gavi established the COVID-19 Vaccine Delivery Partnership (CoVDP) to intensify support to COVID-19 vaccine delivery. Working with governments and essential partners, CoVDP provided urgent operational support to the 34 countries that were at or below 10% full vaccination coverage in January 2022 on their pathways toward achieving national and global coverage targets. The greatest benefits of this approach were increases in full vaccination and booster coverage for in both general and high-priority populations – older adults, healthcare workers, and persons with co-morbidities, including immunocompromised persons.
