研究组 & 干预措施
Control arm
Participants in this arm will be consented for the study and baseline data collection will be made but there will not be any intervention. Data will be collected for baseline as well as post interventional vaccination status among the studied population.
Intervention Arm
Participants allocated in this arm will be approached for a workshop related to microbe literacy. Using a microscope, live demonstration of the biological samples brought by the participants will be carried out by the team of researchers. Participants will be assisted to place biological materials under the microscope, manipulate the slides and discover the profusion of microbial life from the immediate environment. The session will be followed by question and answer round related to concurrent hygiene practices and basic sanitation to prevent infections including vaccines.
