In a push to strengthen the country's immunization programme, over 80 health officials and senior managers from across the Islamic Republic of Iran gathered in Hamadan for a 3-day training of trainers (ToT) workshop.

Held between 26–28 July, the workshop was organized by the Hamadan University of Medical Sciences in partnership with the Ministry of Health and Medical Education (MoHME), with support from the World Health Organization (WHO) and Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance.

The workshop brought together immunization officers from 32 universities of medical sciences. Participants honed their skills in areas such as vaccine scheduling, cold chain management and monitoring adverse events following immunization, and also in risk communication to effectively address public health concerns.
