If you are a public health professional passionate about saving lives, this is your chance to make a lasting impact.

As a State TA, you will be the driving force behind your state’s MR campaign. Key responsibilities include:

• Coordinate stakeholders: Work with state health teams, NGOs, and community leaders to ensure seamless campaign execution.

• Have 3+ years of experience in public health, particularly in immunization programs or outbreak response.
• Demonstrate expertise in technical assistance, stakeholder coordination, and data-driven decision-making.
• Possess strong leadership, communication, and problem-solving skills.

Preference will be given to candidates with prior experience in large-scale vaccination campaigns.

Why Apply?
