Effectiveness of Health Mobilization Tactics in Enhancing Mass Immunization During Disease Outbreaks in Rural Delta State

Introduction: Effective health mobilization tactics ranging from community engagement and health education to strategic media use are essential in ensuring that immunization coverage reaches herd immunity thresholds during such emergencies. Methodology: This research adopted a descriptive cross-sectional design. This research was carried out in Isoko South and Isoko North Local Government Area of Delta State. The collected data were analyzed using software package for social scientists (SPSS) version 22.0. Ethical approval was obtained prior to the study, and informed consent was secured from all participants after explaining the study’s purpose and implications. Results: A strong majority (83.7%) of respondents (28.9% strongly agree, 54.8% agree) reported being informed about immunization by health workers, suggesting health officials are a key trusted source. The internal consistency of the six items used to measure the impact of health mobilization tactics was assessed using Cronbach’s Alpha, which yielded a value of 0.737. This indicates acceptable reliability, suggesting that the items consistently measure the same underlying construct. Conclusion: In conclusion, the findings indicate that while health worker led communication and multimodal mobilization strategies have a meaningful influence on immunization awareness and acceptance.
