This prompt communications support to US<strong>AI</strong>D on non-pharmaceutical<br />
interventions evolved into <strong>AI</strong>.<strong>COMM</strong> assisting the World Health Organization<br />
in creating a communication plan <strong>and</strong> materials for when pharmaceutical interventions<br />
– the novel H1N1 vaccine – became available in late 2009. As part of the WHO efforts,<br />
<strong>AI</strong>.<strong>COMM</strong> helped WHO in ensuring that appropriate messages on the H1N1 vaccine were<br />
developed for different audiences (e.g., health care workers, pregnant women, people with<br />
pre-existing health conditions, stakeholders) by helping to perform rapid pre-tests<br />
on messages <strong>and</strong> materials. The project also advised on core messages <strong>and</strong> other WHO<br />
communication products on the vaccine, <strong>and</strong> developed fact sheets <strong>and</strong> posters for<br />
stakeholders, health care workers, pregnant women, <strong>and</strong> people with pre-existing health<br />
conditions. Training guides on the H1N1 vaccine were developed to orient the media, <strong>and</strong><br />
to provide communication skills to health care workers who were tapped to administer<br />
the vaccine.
