\n \n \n \nVaccines are the most effective and affordable way to prevent diseases. The pandemic led to a lag in immunisation for essential vaccines \u2013 25 million children worldwide missed out on vaccination in 2021, according to WHO. At OUCRU, in addition to research and collaborations on various vaccine projects, we are committed to public and community engagement and education around vaccines. Look at some engagement projects that help raise awareness about vaccination and build the capacity for frontline healthcare workers, especially in rural areas.
