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.

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."

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.

USGS scientist Tonie Rocke is working to immunize populations of free-ranging prairie dogs against plague with an oral sylvatic plague vaccine (SPV). Here, she stands beside a prairie dog hole at the Pitchfork Ranch in Wyoming, holding a sample of the brightly colored, peanut butter flavored bait she developed.
If successful, the SPV could help protect endangered black-footed ferret populations in the western U.S. because the ferrets rely on prairie dogs for food.
The SPV project is a collaboration of more than 30 organizations and agencies.

Village Bijulia, Samho Block, Dist. Begusarai, Bihar, INDIA. .Sanjay Kumar, Vaccine Courier, handsover vaccine carrier to Ritu Rani, Auxiliary Nurse Midwife (ANM), and Anita Kumar, ASHA worker at Anganwadi centre in Begusarai, Bihar. Social Mobilisation Network (SMNet), a UNICEF-supported initiative which mobilizes the community at every level village, block, district, region, state to get their children immunized from basic diseases as part of the governments routine immunization programmes. SMNet was started essentially in the 2000s as part of the government's anti-Polio campaigns. SMNet officers thus operate at every level, starting from the village level (where there's a Community Mobilisation Coordinator, typically belonging to the village), to the block, district, sub-region, and region, where there are corresponding mobilizing coordinators for every block, district, sub-region etc. SMNet is premised on the idea that people from within the community are the best ones to mobilize others in their people be it their village, their block or district. But this is where officers such as Bijay Ranjan prove that familiarity is merely an added advantage to the mobilizing process: the real trick lies in effective communication. It is this that made SMNet successful to the extent that SMNET Bihar officers have gone on mobilization drives to other states such as Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh etc. Although SMNet started as a tool to fight Polio campaign, over the years it has transcended its original definition, and become a pool of human resource that can be realigned to any other social/developmental goal. In fact, as of 2015, exactly a year after the WHO declared India as Polio Free, the SMNet is busy tackling diarrhea, malnutrition, hygiene and breast-feeding, all of which are critical to keeping Polio at bay. Immunization in India continues to be an ongoing challenge.
