The DRC Prime Minister and Anuradha Gupta of GAVI, the Vaccine Alliance, toured the new health center and saw a vaccination demonstration. Created in 2000, GAVI brings together public and private sectors with the shared goal of creating equal access to new and underused vaccines for children living in the world’s poorest countries. The United States is one of its original six donor countries and contributes to GAVI through direct contributions. USAID has pledged $1 billion over the next three years to GAVI, pending Congressional approval, in support of GAVI's global plan to immunize 300 million additional children and save at least 5 million lives by 2020.
Le Premier Ministre de la RDC et Anuradha Gupta de GAVI, Alliance mondiale pour les vaccins, ont fait le tour du nouveau centre de santé et ont vu une séance de vaccination. Créé en 2000, GAVI met ensemble les secteurs public et privé avec l’objectif commun de créer un accès équitable aux nouveaux vaccins peu utilisés pour les enfants vivant dans les plus pays pauvres. Les Etats-Unis sont l’un des six pays donateurs et contribuent à GAVI à travers des contributions directes. L’USAID a promis plus de 1 milliards de dollars pour les trois prochaines années à GAVI, moyennant l’approbation du Congrès, en appui au plan global de GAVI pour vacciner 300 millions d’enfants supplémentaires et sauver au moins 5 millions de vies d’ici 2020.

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 Chandmari 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.

The teams are a joint initiative of the Govt of Pakistan, UNICEF, WHO and UNFPA.

HERAT, 6 October 2015 – Some 300,000 children are being immunized against polio in two of Afghanistan’s western provinces as part of a UN-supported campaign to combat the crippling disease.
Following concerns about an outbreak from a new polio case in Herat, the Ministry of Public Health, together with the United Nations Children Fund (UNICEF) and World Health Organization (WHO), commenced an immunization campaign throughout Farah and Herat.
“The emergence of a polio case in the Shindand district of Herat can be a threat, and if we don’t act on an emergency basis, children in some vulnerable areas could be affected by the virus,” said Ahmed Shah Ahmedi, a UNICEF official.
Mr. Ahmedi explained that the three-day vaccination campaign follows on the heels of a nationwide programme, launched earlier this year, that vaccinated children in all districts across the western regions.
Wahid Rahmani, the coordinator of the anti-polio programme at Herat’s Directorate of Health, said insecurity in different areas of the country and movement of individuals and families from the south to the western provinces have contributed to the spread of the virus.
This year, health officials have identified 12 new cases of polio throughout the country. Of these, five were in the western region: four in Farah and one in Herat.
According to WHO, polio remains endemic in only two countries – Afghanistan and Pakistan – with the eradication of polio globally depending primarily on stopping the disease in these countries.

Day 2
In UNICEF's effort to build back better the lives of Acehnese localized Integrated Health Centers were built through out the province under the Health Units program. Known as Posyandu Plus, the health centers provide pre-natal training, check ups and immunization for pregnant mothers as well as health services for children under five. Built upon a preexisting government program, the Posyandu Plus activities have built upon institutional knowledge for greater sustainability and effectiveness.
At the Posyandu Plus Ie Masen, in Banda Aceh the monthly children's chek up's were underway, involving children under the age of 5. Monitoring weight, height, and health of the children monthly helps in the long term development and well being while vitamin A drops and immunizations help keep the kids healthy. Along the way the mothers receive training and are given the opportunity to allow their children to socialize.
We interviewed Sanawiyah, 28, and her daughter Shafira, 10 months. Sanawiyah is a survivor of the tsunami and moved to the village of Ie Masen, Banda Aceh after her home was destroyed in tsunami. (after a two minute interview we realized she wasn't going to talk…but at least there is one nice moment where she is smiling)

This is an adult female receiving an intramuscular immunization from female nurse.
Vaccinations are most often given via the intramuscular route in the deltoid or thigh muscle, to optimize the immune response of the vaccine and reduce the adverse reactions in and around the injection site. Smaller doses are administered in the deltoid muscle because they are absorbed faster and will cause less pain. Infants and young children should be vaccinated in the anterolateral aspect of the thigh.

The vaccination team undertakes a long and difficult journey in order to reach a nomadic child in Tsagaannur soum, Khuvsgul province, Mongolia on 15 October, 2012 as part of the National Supplementary Immunization Campaign for Measles.
Vaccinator P. Oyunchimeg, 52, and doctor B. Uuganjargal, 24, examine and immunize P. Otgonjargal, a 4 year old girl whose family are nomadic reindeer herders.
Family members of P. Otgonjargal are:
Ch. Erdenetsetseg, mother
Vaccinator P. Oyunchimeg, 52, regularly spends long hours trying to reach and immunized children in this extremely remote part of Mongoila. On the day this photograph was taken, the vaccination team put in a 10 hour day, traveling by automobile, ferry, reindeer and foot in order to reach a nomadic community where they succeeded in immunizing one child. In some cases the team is forced to make even longer journeys, staying out overnight.
Before becoming a vaccinator, P. Oyunchimeg worked for 18 years as a surgery nurse and 10 years as a feldsher*. She was born in a nearby area, and loves the work that she does. "I love to travel in rural areas, it's both rewarding and fun to help people here," she says. She has 5 children between the ages of 13 and 35.
She is very proud that the policy for vaccination is to reach every child, regardless of the time and effort involved. She does the work for both the individual children that she meets, as well as the collective good of the future of Mongolia.
The most difficult trip that she undertook was in July of 2012. It took all day for the team to travel 80km on roads, because of mud and obstructions. Afterwards, she had to travel for another six hours by horseback, through the taiga, arriving in the nomads' encampment at 11p.m. During the day she had no food. The following day she delivered five vaccinations, and made the equally-long journey home.
*(Feldsher (German: Feldscher, Polish: Felczer) is the name of a health care professional who provides various medical services in Russia and other countries of the former Soviet Union, mainly in rural areas. For example, feldshers provide primary, obstetrical and surgical care services in many rural medical centres and ambulatories across Russia.)
