Boost Community Initiatives

Immunization professionals shoulder many responsibilities, from procuring vaccines to monitoring safety. Our Boost Community provides a platform for immunization professionals around the world to connect with peers and access resources and trainings to enable them to grow in their careers.

Boost’s Adaptive Trainings Address Complex Environments

Boost offers comprehensive training opportunities for immunization professionals that are both adaptive and technical in nature. Our adaptive trainings pair with a specific immunization topic (e.g., life course immunization) and focus on building, developing and deepening leadership skills for community organizing. Graduates of our advanced trainings develop the capacity to deliver their own trainings to the Boost Community or within their own communities.

Bright Spots

Bright Spots is a storytelling initiative that highlights grassroots-driven process improvement in routine immunization service delivery at the sub-national level. The Bright Spots initiative serves as a means to continuously share, learn and discuss innovation, provide immunization staff with an opportunity to showcase their innovations and work together to discover new ways of doing things.

COVID-19 Recovery for Routine Immunization Programs Fellowship

Launched in May 2022 in response to disruptions caused by COVID-19, the COVID-19 Recovery for Routine Immunization Programs Fellowship — part of WHO’s “Big Catch-Up” initiative — aims to rebuild routine immunization by strengthening the capacity of national and sub-national staff to lead recovery efforts and address missed vaccinations.
