Training local researchers to improve vaccination programs against infections
Peru Vanderbilt – PREvention through VacciNation Training (PREVENT) program
This study is all about helping local researchers learn how to make vaccination programs better in their communities, so they can create trust and gather important information to fight infections that are hard to treat.

What this research studies
This research focuses on enhancing the effectiveness of vaccination programs in both developed and developing countries by training local researchers. It aims to generate locally relevant evidence that can support vaccine development and implementation, particularly in addressing antimicrobial resistant infections. The program will cover essential topics such as the impact of vaccination on herd immunity and the importance of building trust in vaccination efforts. By equipping researchers with the necessary skills and knowledge, the project seeks to improve the overall success of vaccination initiatives.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this research are individuals living in developing countries who are affected by infectious diseases and antimicrobial resistant infections.
Not a fit: Patients who are not in regions with vaccination program challenges or those who are not affected by infectious diseases may not benefit from this research.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this research could lead to more effective vaccination programs, ultimately reducing the incidence of infectious diseases and antimicrobial resistance.
How similar studies have performed: Previous research has shown that training local researchers can significantly improve the implementation and effectiveness of vaccination programs.
