AcToVax4NAM Communication Tools in Cyprus
The AcToVax4NAM team in Cyprus has developed tools aimed at raising awareness about existing vaccination schemes in the country, while also equipping Professionals for Health with the necessary resources for daily communication with Newly Arrived Migrants. These tools include a Vaccination Guide, a Vaccination centers Map of Cyprus, and Communication Cards.
The Vaccination Guide provides valuable information about the importance of vaccination, including the vaccination scheme for kids and adults offered for free by the national services, vaccination centers in Cyprus, potential side effects etc.
The a Vaccination centers Map of Cyprus is a comprehensive map of Cyprus featuring all vaccination centers, complete with essential information to facilitate navigation. Integrated QR technology directs users to Google Maps for each center.
The Communication Cards consist of a booklet containing key words and terms categorized into Basic Communication, Administrative Communication, and Side Effects of Vaccination that will facilitate the communication of the PFH and the migrant during the vaccination appointment.
All tools have been approved by the Ministry of Health of Cyprus and will be available in English, French, Arabic, and Somali for distribution across Cyprus to Vaccination, Reception centres hospitals and NGOs that work with migrants and refugees.
