Through the innovative use of social media, BakuNanay created Team BakuNanay, a robust community of mom ambassadors that provided a safe space for experts, parents, and guardians to share information and experiences related to vaccines. The campaign’s primary objective is to empower individuals with accurate and science-based knowledge about vaccines.

One of the standout features of BakuNanay is the series of webinars organized by the campaign, where medical experts engaged with the community, addressing questions, sharing advice, and disseminating crucial information about vaccines. These webinars have become a cornerstone of the campaign, allowing for direct and interactive communication between experts and the public.

This National Bronze Award for Health Literacy at the Healthy Pilipinas Awards for Partners 2023 reflects the dedication and impact of the BakuNanay campaign in promoting health literacy and dispelling vaccine misinformation.
