Activities for Malawi will focus on raising community awareness on importance of immunization, and the knowledge of the general population of the New EPI schedule for Malawi. 

The African Vaccination Week will be celebrated by disseminating messages to the general public on the importance of immunizing children against childhood illnesses and the value of immunization. The messages will be disseminated through health talks by health works in under-five clinics throughout the country, the radio, newspapers and the television.

There will also be mobilization and sensitization campaigns using traditional, modern and social media: engage religious leaders in dialogues; organizing sensitization workshops for media practitioners and health workers; conduct community dialogues through panel discussions, recognize deserving health workers through award of certificates, and sensitize supervisors as well as undertake supportive supervisory visits to vaccinations sites. These activities have a common, overarching goal: to showcase the power of vaccination in protecting public health. 

Wednesday, 24th of April, THE DAILY TIMES, dedicated one page on the announcement of the Malawian African Vaccination week.
