The Ministry of Health, in cooperation with the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), on Monday launched a national awareness campaign to accelerate vaccination against COVID-19.
The “Vaccination; Protecting myself and others” campaign seeks to raises awareness about the importance of getting the jabs to protect individuals and their families from the complications of the coronavirus. It also offers guidelines to register on the national immunization platform www.vaccine.jo.
Health Minister Firas Hawari stressed the importance of encouraging citizens to receive the vaccine, as ‘the best way to protect ourselves and loved ones’ from the virus.
He highlighted the importance of cooperation with USAID through the “Nutrition and Community Health” project, as well as with the Royal Society for Health Awareness, and media outlets, commending their support for the ministry in addressing the pandemic.
The four-week campaign comes within government measures to curb the spread of the pandemic and the Ministry’s efforts to provide vaccines for the largest possible number of citizens and residents in Jordan. It will use all available audio-visual media outlets, including local television and radio channels, the Ministry of Health’s social media platforms and advertisements to reach all targeted groups.
The campaign is implemented in cooperation with the USAID-funded “Nutrition and Community Health” project being carried out by the Family Health International, a nonprofit human development organization.
