Table 6.

Preference for vaccine delivery among laypersons and health actors.

Theme: Preference for Vaccine Delivery
Sub-Theme: There is desire for more, and more accurate information from trusted sources
1 Woman, 2 doses, after campaign “Volunteers can suit the person because people would feel shy of the health worker. But if it is a volunteer, we know each other here in the compound. You tell them everything, even the vaccine, if you want it or not. Then they will explain to you and convince you till you take part.”
2 Vaccinator, after campaign “We feel that these vaccines are safe especially if those that sensitize have gone around to explain to people how it works. Because if they don’t explain, everyone is scared and asks, “How come you people at the clinic are getting vaccinated?” But if they go around and explain and if people know how the medicine works, people will not question vaccines.”



Sub-Theme: People want better access to vaccinations
4 Woman 0 doses, after campaign “Door to door helps those that cannot go to the clinic, like those with disabilities.”
5 Lay HCW, before campaign “Mobile campaigns are very good because other people can’t manage to move long distances (…) People find difficulties to go to the clinics.”
6 Vaccinator, before campaign “Another challenge was how [vaccines] to give the aged who stay very far. Their grandchildren would come to ask for the vaccine to give them.”
7 Woman 2 doses, after campaign “Routine is better because all we need is a reminder. We need to hear that message every day. if [the message] comes like in a campaign, we forget. Maybe you are not there on the day of the campaign, but if it’s every day, you will know. It will just be clinking the mind that I need to do this.”
8 LHCW, after campaign “There are those who prefer routine [vaccination]. We remember when we were doing the cholera [vaccine campaign], there are those who were saying, “We still have time, we will go.” Then when they heard that it’s the last day, that is when they came in large numbers. So they prefer routine.”
