EBODAC (EBOLA vaccine Deployment, Acceptance & Compliance)

The overall objective of the project is to develop a communication and engagement strategy including the development of appropriate technology and tools in order to maximize Ebola vaccination impact in the targeted population. It includes developing, testing and implementing all necessary activities and tools to ensure acceptance and compliance with the Ebola vaccination program in West Africa, both in support of clinical trials, and in the broader vaccination program beyond the clinical trial.

Another related objective is the monitoring of public and provider perceptions throughout the deployment of the vaccine in order to detect signals of concerns that can be addressed early, before causing any widespread concerns that may interfere with the vaccination deployment.
