Deadline extended: Global Reporting Initiative on vaccines and immunization open [Africa, Caribbean]

Posted on Sep 23, 2022 in COVID-19 Reporting

Journalists in Africa and the Caribbean can participate in a nine-month virtual fellowship on vaccines and immunization.  

Established with the support of the Sabin Vaccine Institute’s Immunization Advocates program, the International Women’s Foundation (IWMF) Global Reporting Initiative provides journalists with learning, funding and mentoring opportunities to cover urgent issues, like vaccine acceptance and demand in Africa and the Caribbean. 

The IWMF will select 30 journalists to participate in the Global Health Reporting Initiative from October 2022 to June 2023. The cohort will participate in a virtual course that will increase access to global and regional experts, trusted sources and evidence-based information on vaccines and immunization.

The extended deadline for Caribbean journalists is Sept. 30.
