Community health volunteers use this guide during social mobilizations for routine immunizations, polio campaigns and health education sessions for community based AFP surveillance. This behavior change communication tool aims to improve knowledge of disease surveillance and the importance of immunizations for vaccine-preventable diseases, breastfeeding and diarrhea management. These pictorial presentations spark discussions among women’s groups, pregnant and lactating mothers, youth groups and others about the importance of children completing their routine immunizations in the first year, the timely reporting of disease events to the nearest health facility and the need for hygienic practices.
