Village Ð Dolgobindpur, Block-Chandanpur CHS, Dist-Puri, Odisha, INDIA..Purnachandra Saba, 44, an autorickshaw driver prepares to carry cold chain boxes at Block Vaccine Store to deliver vaccine to Anganwadi centres. Every Wednesday, Purnachandra Saba, an autorickshaw driver delivers boxes of vaccines to anganwadi centres.Immunization is one of the most cost effective public health interventions, preventing around 2 million child deaths each year worldwide, and IndiaÕs Immunization Program is the largest in world with respect to the quantity of vaccines used and the number of beneficiaries. Here, Routine Immunization (RI) saves the lives of 400,000 children annually. In OdishaÕs 30 districts and 314 blocks, it is not easy for health workers to reach a population of 4.1 crore. With 30% of the areas difficult to reach, 22% tribal population, 48% people in the BPL category and 17% schedule cast population, Odisha has been one of the most challenges states for them in terms of geography and demography. Despite these odds, during 2013-14, the state provided immunization services at a cost of Rs 30 crore to 8,54,619 children between 0-1 years and 9,40,081 pregnant women to prevent seven diseases such as tuberculosis, diphtheria, whooping cough, tetanus, polio, measles and Hepatitis B. In addition, vitamin A is also administered to children. The current level of full immunization coverage is 62.3% for children (AHS 2011-12), officials say. Since 2009, the program has manifested itself in the Teeka Express, where participation of civil society, NGOs, porters, rickshaw drivers and volunteers strengthen the vaccine delivery logistics. This system has been implemented in 280 out of the 314 blocks of the state, and has reduced vaccine shortage, improved vaccine quality, improved timeliness of reporting, ensured regularization of immunization in hard to reach areas and improved immunization waste management..

There have been no new cases of wild polio virus in the Democratic Republic of Congo since December 2011, a marked contrast from a high of 100 cases in 2010. World Immunizations Week, April 24 to 30, 2015, presented an opportunity to celebrate this exciting public health milestone and offered a chance to commit to reaching all the children who have not yet been vaccinated against preventable diseases. USAID contributes $3.5 million each year to polio vaccination efforts in the DRC through the World Health Organization (WHO), UNICEF and USAID’s Integrated Health Project. USAID also supports immunizations worldwide through direct support to GAVI, the Vaccine Alliance.
On April 28, 2015, in Mbankana, Kinshasa province, USAID officials joined the Prime Minister of the DRC, Augustin Matata Ponyo, the DRC Minister of Health, Dr. Felix Kabange Numbi, and representatives from GAVI and other international donors, at a ceremony at a newly built health center. The event honored DRC’s efforts to remain polio-free and launched a fleet of new refrigerated trucks for the safe transport of vaccines to remote areas of the country.

Following on from last week's saga concerning my getting-up-to-date-with-ones immunizations...
I went for the next selection of jabs.
AND I specifically asked for a list of the things I've had done this week and last! Because I want to share it all with you. Well, I don't remember the names of the jabs I had [because I've never been a medically minded type of girl].
So far, I am up to date with the following:
- Polio because the last time I had this was when I was five years old.
- Tetanus last time was in 2001...
- Diphtheria last time 2001.
- Mumps when I was five years old in 1990.
- Rubella!!! [yeh typo last time!] last time was in 1990 too.
- Measles again in 1990.
- Hepatitis A last time 2001.
- Hepatitis B first time ever! I even had to pay for just this ONE shot... another one due in a month's time! Not looking forward to the experience.
- Typtyphim first time ever... again...
Anyway. Today, I had 6 of the above jabs today. Well the top three together, and then another of the next three together.
Oh my days.
My left arm was the killer. I was really shocked to find that the nurse was doing it very slowly [it was never THIS slow!] and the pain! Oh my goodness. And the hole meant I bled for quite sometime.
Likewise with my right arm afterwards. Although it wasn't a slow process, a quick one... And didn't sting or hurt. But there was blood again!
What's up with my body?! I didn't bleed a single drop of blood last week.
So this week, I went away with plasters! One on each arm.
Some of the youth kids tonight at bible study thought I was wearing a nicotine patch! haha... kids say the darndest things!
But anyway. The majority of them were routine checkups and immunizations, mainly childhood catchups because it's been a LONG long time. And just general health concerns. I'm getting older, am growing up. Best to be protected right eh?
But today I was sooo not the trooper I claimed to be. I was complaining about the pain in my left arm! haha...
