Thanks for the presentation. How will this bracelet combat fears and misinformation around vaccinations?
Thank you Dr. Garvey! About Establishing Contextual and Cultural Relevance of Immunisation 1) Our band borrows visual style and the concept of a Nazar ‘Evil eye’ bracelet commonly used throughout India for protecting infants and babies from Evil’s eye. We equate the analogy of vaccine prevented diseases, VPD (diseases which can’t be seen yet but have the potential to harm your child) to that of ‘Nazar’ or evil’s eye (where evil’s eye hasn’t affected the child yet but has the potential to do so).

Thank you for your presentation. I really like the simplicity of your idea. How will you ensure the accuracy of this physical device? is there a way to link it digitally?
Thank you, Ms Nakagawa, it is very encouraging! 1) About the Accuracy of the Physical Device – The accuracy in our context would mean that the users and nurse/ govt. health officials can understand how many vaccine visits are done and how many more to go (out of a total of 8 vaccination visits) We intend to partner with the government to distribute these bracelets, through this we can expect greater distribution and reach our target audience. There are empty slots on the tracker bracelet that get filled in by the bead given by a nurse each time a vaccination… Read more »
