The 13th Vaccination Week in the Americas (VWA) will be celebrated from April 25th to May 2nd, 2015. The regional slogan for VWA 2015 is “Boost your power! Get vaccinated!” Vaccines are weakened or killed pathogens that help your immune system fight diseases. Vaccines do not make you sick, but prepare your body to fight off disease when exposed to full strength pathogens in the future. Vaccines boost the power of your immune system and fight off more than 20 different vaccine-preventable diseases. To read more on how vaccines boost your power, check out: www.paho.org/vwa/
The purpose of the information systems station is to show how better access to information can help improve the performance of vaccination programs. There are several good software systems that you can buy, use, or adapt for to help with functions including stock management, immunization registry, and equipment inventory. They vary in functionality, complexity, cost, and flexibility.
The left-hand panel of this three-part banner features data that can be collected at the point of vaccination or in an immunization registry. The middle panel shows the kinds of information that can be collected in a stock or logistics management information system. The panel on the right focuses on equipment inventories and temperature monitoring systems. Having this kind of information allows you to address equipment failures more quickly and identify supply chain problems.
Optimize has also produced videos of six information systems that can be shown at this station. The videos explain what is possible and how information systems can make your job easier.

Village Samho, Samho Block, Dist. Begusarai, Bihar, INDIA. Ritu Rani, Auxiliary Nurse Midwife (ANM), immunize a child inside 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.

Health-care workers in Edmonton and Calgary are the first Albertans to be immunized against COVID-19.
Sahra Kaahiye, a respiratory therapist at the Glenrose Rehabilitation Hospital in Edmonton, and Tanya Harvey, an intensive care nurse at the Foothills Medical Centre Cell in Calgary, were the first to receive the COVID-19 vaccine on Tuesday, December 15, 2020.
“Yesterday, I was on-site to see the first vaccine doses arrive in Alberta – now, about 24 hours later, we’re already administering the vaccine to front-line, critical health-care workers. The speed and efficiency shown in coming together to make this happen is remarkable. We will not stop our efforts until everyone who wants a vaccination gets one.” said Premier Jason Kenney.

Area: Chandnmari Juggi, Vijaynagar District: Ghaziabad, State: Uttar Pradesh Country: India, 22nd March 2017 .
Naazma Begum mobilizes mothers and children from their homes to attend a routine immunization session at the local anganwadi 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.

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)
Salwati,25, is an Early Child Development Care Health Cadre trained by UNICEF and now working at the UNICEF built Posyandu Plus in Ie Masen, Banda Aceh. The two children on her lap were born shortly after the tsunami in emergency camps. (left) Misrina Huwaida was born 13th March 2005 and (right) Bunga Mafirah was born 15th April 2005.
Diasabled since birth Ainul Mardiah and her daughter one-and-half year old daughter Zaidah, travel from a neighboring village to participate in the monthly health check up's at the Ie Masen Posyandu Plus in Banda Aceh. The integrated health center has provided her with pregnancy check ups, breast feedi
On 15 December, (foreground) a woman cradles her baby as she and other mothers wait for their children to be vaccinated at a UNICEF-supported immunization centre in Goma, capital of North Kivu Province. An estimated 60,000 children in the town are being vaccinated against measles and polio and are receiving de-worming tablets and vitamin A, part of an integrated emergency immunization campaign. The UNICEF logo is on tarpaulin sheeting behind them..

By 15 December 2008 in the Democratic Republic of Congo, ongoing fighting between government and rebel forces in eastern North Kivu Province continued to threaten local populations and hinder relief efforts. More than 250,000 people are on the move, including more than 60,000 in camps for the newly displaced in the Kibati area, north of Goma, the provincial capital. Over 1 million people in the province are now displaced, with others fleeing across borders to Uganda and Rwanda. Malnutrition rates and hygiene-related diseases, especially diarrhoea and including cholera, are increasing; children are being recruited or re-recruited into armed groups; and hundreds of others have been separated from their families as they flee outbreaks of violence. UNICEF is calling for a cessation to fighting and to the recruitment of child soldiers, as well as for safe access to all vulnerable groups. UNICEF is also working to: provide safe water to camps for the displaced; build latrines to help prevent disease outbreaks; supply health centres; support measles immunizations; distribute basic non-food items; and support efforts to reunite children separated from their families. Partners include the Government and major donor countries; other UN agencies; and international NGOs, including Solidarité Internationale, International Medical Corps, the International Rescue Committee, Mercy Corps and Save the Children UK. UNICEF has requested US $12 million in additional emergency funding to cover immediate needs for three months. Since 1998, an estimated 5 million Congolese, half of them children, have died of conflict-related causes, including disease; an additional 1,200 people die daily from these causes. Life expectancy in the country is 46 years, and 4 million children are orphaned.
