In this episode, we head to Guatemala, where an innovative partnership between Wuqu’ Kawoq (the Maya Health Alliance), UCSF and Stanford University, are developing digital and social media messaging for indigenous rural communities in local Mayan languages. The project - funded by the Vaccine Confidence Fund, part of the Alliance for Advancing Health Online - provides some useful lessons learned for vaccine implementers looking to find ways of reaching marginalized communities with messaging that is appropriate to their needs - and that can be communicated in different local languages.
