The United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) has trained 90 volunteers to support the vaccination campaign in Libya, in cooperation with the National Center for Disease Control (NCDC).
The training, which included volunteers from civil society organizations, the Libyan Red Crescent, and the Scout Movement, aims to qualify these volunteers to support and implement the vaccination campaign in three major cities in Libya: Tripoli, Benghazi, and Misrata.
According to UNICEF, this training is an important step towards ensuring the readiness of volunteers and providing them with the knowledge and skills necessary to effectively contribute to protecting the health of Libyan society, and increasing awareness of the importance of vaccination and the necessity of receiving vaccines.
The NCDC will launch on November 9 a national campaign for vaccinations against diseases: polio, measles and rubella from the age of one day to 6 years, and this campaign will continue until November 14.
