ZimFact is launching the #KnowTheFactsGetTheVax campaign to disseminate credible information on COVID-19 vaccines.
The #KnowTheFactsGetTheVax campaign is an initiative of Africa’s oldest fact checking service, Africa Check. The campaign is running in several African countries, and ZimFact is running the campaign in Zimbabwe with the support of our partners the Open Society Initiative for Southern Africa (OSISA).
This is a literary campaign aimed at fighting against the harm that is caused by health misinformation by making available credible information and sources around COVID-19 and COVID-19 vaccines. The campaign will run until November 2022.
ZimFact’s broadcast and civil society partners will work with partners through their own various platforms. This includes broadcast services and social media pages. This will ensure that this critical message reaches as many people as possible.
The languages will be run in English, Shona and Ndebele.
To follow the campaign, be on the lookout for the campaign hashtag … #KnowTheFactsGetTheVax
