Our study emphasizes the importance of onboarding and/or training health workers across all categories that are involved in the implementation of a public health program, irrespective of the existing knowledge that they may have on the concept. This study recommends that health workers across all levels, in collaboration with key players and stakeholders employ human-centered designed approaches to improve the sensitization of caregivers, and community populace on the values, benefits, and significance of the COVID-19 vaccination and routine immunization uptake.
