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.

Village Ð Alikia, Block-Chandanpur CHS, Dist-Puri, Odisha, INDIA..Women along with their children wait to be imminized after Purnachandra Sabata, 44, an autorickshaw driver, delivered cold chain boxes of vaccines to Anganwadicentre. Every Wednesday, Purnachandra Saba, 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. .

Kari Bergstrom, Manager, Immunization, Business with Alberta Health provides logistical highlights of the Provincial Vaccine Depot to Minister of Health Tyler Shandro, Deputy Minister of Health Paul Wynnyk, and Dr. Deena Hinshaw on Monday, December 14, 2020.
Alberta will soon receive 25,350 doses of Pfizer vaccine and will start immunizing priority health-care workers provincewide.
During the week of Dec. 21, Alberta will receive shipments of vaccines from Pfizer at dedicated vaccine sites across the province.
Right now, the Pfizer vaccine must be administered at its delivery site, so these doses will be provided to respiratory therapists, intensive care unit physicians and staff, and eligible long-term care and designated supportive living workers across the province.
These are in addition to the 3,900 doses that are expected to arrive this week and will begin to be administered in Calgary and Edmonton within days of delivery. The ultra-cold freezers needed for the Pfizer vaccines are now installed at eight locations across Alberta and AHS staff are being trained to ensure quality and safety are maintained.
“This welcome news brings much-needed hope to Albertans, particularly health care workers, during this incredibly trying time in the pandemic. These staff are exhausted, and I hope seeing more vaccinations are on the way will show them there’s an end in sight. Albertans can be confident this vaccine is safe and will be administered quickly and efficiently.” said Minister Shandro.
“Alberta Health Services, Alberta Health and the COVID-19 task force have been hard at work preparing for the vaccine doses arriving this week and next. We have the plans in place to get the vaccines to where they need to go: into the arms of Albertans.” said Paul Wynnyk, chair, COVID-19 Vaccine Task Force.
“I am very pleased to hear that we will be able to immunize more of our front-line health-care workers and vulnerable Albertans before the end of the year. But this is not the end. We must continue to follow health measures to bend the curve, and until enough of us are immunized, we must continue to be each others’ vaccine.” said Dr. Deena Hinshaw, chief medical officer of health.
Pending final approval from Health Canada, the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine is expected to arrive in Alberta later in December. The Moderna vaccines can be transported to other locations, so the initial shipment will be used to immunize residents at long-term care locations beginning with those at highest risk, including two First Nations seniors facilities.
As more shipments arrive in early January, immunization will focus on Phase 1 priority populations and will include residents of long-term care and designated supportive living facilities, followed by seniors aged 75 and over and First Nations on reserve, Inuit and on-settlement Metis individuals aged 65 and over.
Phase 2 is still expected to start by April 2021 and will be targeted to the next groups of prioritized populations. Final decisions regarding eligibility in Phase 2 have not yet been determined.
Phase 3 will involve rolling out vaccinations to the general Alberta population, and is anticipated to start later in 2021.

Morogoro Region in Tanzania has improved its routine immunization performance following a number of initiatives undertaken by regional authorities and development partners, including USAID’s MOMENTUM Country and Global Leadership. MOMENTUM supported the region to use an approach called ‘Periodic Intensification of Routine Immunization’ — which uses time-limited and intermittent vaccine campaigns to administer routine vaccinations to under-vaccinated populations – to identify children who missed routine vaccines and those who didn't complete the full vaccine schedule.
