One For All, All For One, A New Comic About Vaccination, For The World

One For All, All For One is a brand new multimedia challenge taking in comics, movie, and public occasions immunisation and vaccination narratives. Quoting Alexandre Dumas, the One for All, All for One comedian is by Nabeel Petersen and Cape Town avenue artist Mohamed Hassan, and will probably be revealed in English and Chichewa, to be shared with the general public, clinics and with researchers with governments and public well being authorities in Malawi, South Africa, UK and past with the goal that they are going to inform and create additional conversations round vaccines and immunisation. The comedian ebook will probably be made out there in print and on-line this month.

The comedian will probably be out there digitally from NHS Vocal’s web site starting on the 14th of November 2022, forward of the print publication date timed to The Global Health Network Conference in Cape Town, South Africa on the twenty fourth of November. A movement comedian adaptation is being created by editor Kauthar Dramat and sound producer Yankho Seunda.

“Vaccines are one of the most effective tools that we have to protect people against life-threatening infections” stated Prof. Bella Starling, co-director of One for All, All for One. “Yet vaccine hesitancy is on the increase worldwide, prompted by misinformation, poor access and infrastructure, suboptimal communication from clinicians, public health and policy makers, and lack of awareness. For me, the co-creation of the comic’s narrative (with scientists, healthcare workers, community and faith leaders, young mothers, young adults and artists) is one of the most important aspects of this project.”

Based upon collaborative discussions with individuals from Malawi, South Africa and the UK, in addition to proof from scientific, social scientific and science communication analysis, One for All, All for One is a four-chapter comedian which follows younger siblings, Tadala and Mayeso, as they navigate myths and misinformation, see the affect of opinion makers and social media, learn to come to their very own conclusions, and see the long-term affect of their involvement in group analysis initiatives.

“We chose comics as the medium because they cross cultural boundaries and allow for audiences of all literacy levels” stated author Nabeel Petersen of Interfer. “We hope that the comics will encourage people, policy-makers and researchers to think further about how they might collaborate in equitable and positive ways.”

“We recognised there was an opportunity to explore narratives around community protection in accessible ways, using creative arts to spark conversations,” stated Sara Kenney of Wowbagger Productions, who’s the Engagement Strategist for One for All, All for One. “We were particularly interested in exploring a story that encourages researchers to think about how they create spaces where they respond to questions and listen to the health needs of their community.”

“Working with different community groups on this project has been a game changer,” stated challenge supervisor Rodrick Sambakunsi. “The ambition was to ‘listen’ rather than ‘tell’ and to use workshops with participants that included communities, village and faith leaders and policymakers in Malawi to co-create the narrative of the comics. The final comics reflect the questions and discussions that took place in the workshops and are informed by evidence from science communication and social science research, and their different insights and perspectives have contributed greatly to the project.”
