Over the past two years, countries have distributed far more vaccine doses than ever before as part of COVID-19 vaccination, which has broken all records. Senegal through its government’s own funds and the COVAX mechanism was able to benefit from its first vaccines against Covid-19 approved by the WHO, thus allowing the start of vaccination on February 23, 2021. Taking into account the low number of vaccines, the availability of new vaccines and the downward trend in confirmed cases of Covid-19, the country considered it useful to revise the National Vaccine Deployment Plan (NVDP). Thus, vaccination against Covid is definitely integrated into routine vaccination and the new orientations of the program advocate the vaccination of vulnerable people (people over 60 years old, people living with comorbidity and front-line health staff). It is in this context and with the aim of allowing equitable access to the benefits of vaccination in general including the includes vaccination against Covid-19 that WHO has planned to recruit four (03) national consultants under SSA contract to support the efforts of the Ministry of Health.

•Never pay any amount of money — for a file, a training, a uniform, or an interview. A real employer never asks the candidate to pay.
•Never send a photo of your ID card, passport, or banking details before you have physically verified the employer exists.
•Always meet in a public place, during the day — never an isolated address, a private home, or a location you cannot verify in advance.
•Tell a relative or friend exactly where you are going, with whom, and at what time — and share your live location if possible.
•Search the company name online before going: a real business has a trace (website, reviews, other employees, an official address).
•A salary that is far above the market rate for the position and the city is a red flag — be extra cautious.
