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.

A poem on the poster reads:
"I'll add a little cooing
to the the smile you are wooing
If you you'll tell my moms and pops
That immunization is tops
'Cause it keeps away from me
Ole smallpox and diph, you see."

Area: Chandnmari Juggi, Vijaynagar District: Ghaziabad, State: Uttar Pradesh Country: India, 22nd March 2017 .
An ANM (Auxiliary Nurse Midwife) administers polio drops and vaccination to pregnant women and children at an Angnawadi in the Chandnmari Juggi. 27-year-old Naazma Begum along with her husband Mohhammed Avrakh reside in a 100 sq.feet plot of land covered by blue and yellow plastic supported by bamboo sticks. In order to survive Naazma picks rags from garbage dumps and construction sites, sometimes travelling around 8 to 10 kilometers a day. Typically her day starts at 4:00 am, and sometimes can extend till late evenings. After picking useful items out of garbage she comes back to her slum colony and sorts out the various pieces of junk collected. Plastic, metals, glass and other items are separated and sold. Children, young and old participate in this activity. The sorted items would then be sold to a “Kabadi Wala” ( Wholesale Junk Shop).
On certain days Naazma does not go for her morning rounds of rag picking. This does affects her household economically. Her husband a magician doing shows for a living does not have a steady stream of income. In spite of the circumstances Naazma on these mornings goes house to house motivating young mothers from her community to take their children for routine immunization sessions organized in her locality by the National Health Mission.
An inspiration to many, Naazma sometimes has tough time convincing her friends to take their children. Excuses ranging from, “We don’t have time’, “the child will get fever “ are common in her community. Naazma patiently explains the dangers caused due to lack of vaccination and its necessity in today’s life to every household. Her effort along with the support of Community Mobilization Coordinator and Block Mobilization Coordinator has led to a massive increase in the children immunized in Vijaynagar Ghaziabad.

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...
