Message content developed for roll-out

To support a broader roll-out of the vaccination program, a communication strategy with appropriate content (messages) will be developed in a format appropriate for the platform (see D1.1) or for other means of (mass) communication. As creating awareness at a community level is a gradual process, we envisage a progressive approach of content development and message distribution, starting after completion of D1.1.
