Abstract
This article, published on April 18, 2023, discusses the Saving Lives and Livelihoods initiative, focused on accelerating COVID-19 vaccine uptake in Sierra Leone. Using people-centered strategies, including mobile units and community leader engagement, the effort built trust and tackled misinformation.
