Leçons tirées de la recherche sur les perceptions de la vaccination COVID-19 pour les femmes enceintes en Côte d’Ivoire | Janvier 2023

Bien que la population de Côte d’ivoire ait atteint 58% par rapport à la cible vaccinale, il reste encore du travail à faire pour encourager les personnes ayant des doutes à se faire vacciner. Le gouvernement de la Côte d’Ivoire a autorisé le vaccin Pfizer pour les femmes enceintes depuis janvier 2023 (Circulaire 00103/2023). Breakthrough ACTION soutient le gouvernement de Côte d’Ivoire par le biais des interventions pour le changement social et de comportement (CSC), y compris la recherche et le suivi pour informer sur les activités de vaccination COVID-19. L’équipe de Breakthrough ACTION, en partenariat avec le ministère de la Santé et USAID, a recueilli des données qualitatives sur trois sites afin d’évaluer l’inquiétude suscitée par la COVID-19, les perceptions du déploiement actuel du vaccin, les normes perçues autour de la vaccination, la manière dont la désinformation et d’autres facteurs influencent l’adoption du vaccin. Cette analyse se concentre sur un sous-ensemble de données relatives aux perceptions de la COVID-19 chez les femmes enceintes.


Lessons Learned from Research on Perceptions of COVID-19 Vaccination for Pregnant Women in Côte d’Ivoire | January 2023

Although the population of Côte d’Ivoire has reached 58% of the vaccination target, there is still work to be done to encourage those with doubts to get vaccinated. The government of Côte d’Ivoire has authorized the Pfizer vaccine for pregnant women since January 2023 (Circular 00103/2023). Breakthrough ACTION supports the government of Côte d’Ivoire through social and behavioral change (SBC) interventions, including research and monitoring to inform COVID-19 vaccination activities. The Breakthrough ACTION team, in partnership with the Ministry of Health and USAID, collected qualitative data at three sites to assess concern about COVID-19, perceptions of the current vaccine rollout, perceived norms around vaccination, and how misinformation and other factors influence vaccine uptake. This analysis focuses on a subset of data related to perceptions of COVID-19 among pregnant women.

The COVID Tracking Project

The COVID Tracking Project is a volunteer organization launched from The Atlantic and dedicated to collecting and publishing the data required to understand the COVID-19 outbreak in the United States.

Every day, their teams collect data on COVID-19 testing and patient outcomes from all 50 states, 5 territories, and the District of Columbia. The dataset is currently in use by national and local news organizations across the United States and by research projects and agencies worldwide. Their data API (which allows sites and apps to import our dataset automatically) receives about two million requests per day.

On April 15, they launched the COVID Racial Data Tracker, a partnership between the COVID Tracking Project and the Center for Antiracist Research that collects, publishes, and analyzes racial data on the pandemic within the United States.

COVID-19 Care in India: The Course to Self-Reliance

The public health response to COVID-19 in India has been highly centralized, resulting in a homogenous strategy applied across a sixth of the world’s population.

India was placed in a nationwide lockdown on March 24, 2020, with restrictions being relaxed in three phases since June. In May 2020, the prime minister called upon the Indian people to be self-reliant. The authors discuss opportunities to modify several aspects of the medical response to echo this sentiment.

They conclude that what is still needed is a plethora of low-tech solutions (especially facial coverings), adherence to science, and societal participation in caring for vulnerable people.
