Water born diseases a big danger in refugee camps. Doctors Without Borders set up immunizations ASAP. Guide pointed out that people were often suspicious of the immunization because they feared HIV from the needles or thought they were being given drug trials. Yes, she said, pharmaceutical companies were doing that—performing human drug trials with untested drugs. If she wasn't an eyewitness, she would be called a conspiracist just for saying that. I had just learned from a Thai friend, whose uncle is a doctor that, human trials were being done in Thailand too. This exhibit had a lot of interesting tidbits to share that would normally be called leftist. I also didn't know that measles had been largely eradicated. I was one of the few people raising my hand when she asked if anyone had had measles. Measles used to be a passage of childhood, but not for under 30 set.

Description: “I call this photo ‘Laugh and the world laughs with you…’. I visited my daughter during her study abroad in Ireland, and as we biked through Inis Mor, we stopped to take photos of the amazing coastline. We were greeted by this friendly horse. I love this photo because it looks like he is laughing/smiling as we were, too. I also love the color of his mane. People pay to have highlights like that!”
This year, more than ever, Albertans should get immunized against influenza to protect their health and support the province’s fight against COVID-19.
Flu shots are now available free of charge at pharmacies and doctors’ offices across the province. Alberta Health Services (AHS) is also offering immunizations by appointment for those under five years old and those in their household.
This year’s flu season presents an additional challenge as Alberta responds to COVID-19. Immunization will help protect vulnerable Albertans, as well as decrease influenza-related tests, emergency room visits and hospitalizations during the pandemic.
The government has ordered a record 1.96 million doses of vaccine to help protect the health of Albertans.
“Getting immunized is more important now than ever before. It’s the best way to protect your health and the health of your friends and neighbours. It will also allow our health system to keep focusing on the fight against COVID-19 while we continue safely opening Alberta’s economy.”
Jason Kenney, Premier
“We’ve purchased a record amount of vaccine and made changes to ensure that getting your flu shot is as safe and easy as possible. By keeping cases of influenza low, we can make sure our health-care system can keep responding to the COVID-19 pandemic and all the other health-care needs that Albertans face every day.” said Tyler Shandro, Minister of Health.
“The flu shot won’t prevent COVID-19, but it will reduce your chances of getting sick with influenza and spreading it to others. While getting immunized helps, it’s also crucial to wash your hands often, cover coughs and sneezes and stay home when sick. If you have flu symptoms, book a test for COVID-19 as symptoms are similar. Let’s all do our part to keep one another safe.” said Dr. Deena Hinshaw, chief medical officer of health.

At a maternal and child clinic at La Fossette, one of the largest in Cap-Haitian, patients arrive for regular check-ups as well as vaccinations. Four health workers work at the site, either vaccinating or weighing children. The clinic is held in a building in the process of being built.

Happy Mothers Day to all...
Before I was a mom
I never tripped over toys
or forgot words to a lullaby.
I didn't worry whether or not
my plants were poisonous.
I never thought about immunizations.
Before I was a mom
I had never been puked on.
Pooped on.
Chewed on.
Peed on.
I had complete control of my mind
and my thoughts.
I slept all night.
Before I was a mom
I never held down a screaming child
so doctors could do tests.
Or give shots.
I never looked into teary eyes and cried.
I never got gloriously happy over a simple grin.
I never sat up late hours at night
watching a baby sleep.
Before I was a mom
I never held a sleeping baby just because
I didn't want to put her down.
I never felt my heart break into a million pieces
when I couldn't stop the hurt.
I never knew that something so small
could affect my life so much.
I never knew that I could love someone so much.
I never knew I would love being a mom.
Before I was a mom
I didn't know the feeling of
having my heart outside my body..
I didn't know how special it could feel
to feed a hungry baby.
I didn't know that bond
between a mother and her child.
I didn't know that something so small
could make me feel so important and happy.
Before I was a mom
I had never gotten up in the middle of the night
every 10 minutes to make sure all was okay.
I had never known the warmth,
the joy,
the love,
the heartache,
the wonderment
or the satisfaction of being a mom.
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/

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.

That's what the nurse described it as.
I had to have my immunization updates.
Turns out I'm overdue A LOT OF THEM.
The last time I had the bulk of them was back in 1990, when I was merely 5 years old!
And then the update dosage of Hepatitis A and Hepatitis B vaccine was also required.
And tetanus.
And Polio.
And rubina.
And loads more OTHER STUFF...
I had my Hep A and some other one mixed together and shot in my left arm.
And I had my Hep B shot in my right arm.
My right arm took 3 days to recover.
It also cost me 25 pounds too. Humph. And will probably cost me more in the future when I need to get my next two. It's also funny, because, again, miraculously I JUST had that right amount in my purse. Funny that. God providing yet again.
Anyway. I need to return again next tuesday to see the nurse. And get my next set of jabs too. In both arms again. Gunna take me a while to recover.
But that's ok. I'm a trooper. And will be vaccine-ed against the deadly schtuff!
Did I tell you, I'm a trooper?
Leeloo got a round of immunization shots the day before. She spent the day after in a funk, mostly sleeping, building her immunity. That's the day I got this. The following day, she resumed being a very active lil' kitten. Mostly SOOC -- slight adjustments to levels and color balance -- the sunlight is real. H.Zuiko 42mm 1:1.2
Happy (half-)Birthday Lukas!
Lukas is one roll-over closer to chasing his big sister around the house. He can now roll from front to back ad nauseum and has been found under our Christmas tree and under our chaise lounge after a few minutes of non-supervision. We figure he'll be crawling within a week or two.
Here are a few other milestones/details:
- has sampled the gamut of cereals and is moving on to fruits & veggies (carrots tonight)
- is wearing 12-month-old clothing
- loves clutching and grabbing onto things (including hair, ears and lips)
- puts everything into his mouth
- absolutely loves splashing in the bathtub (we've started putting Makayla and Lukas in the bath together)
- still no teeth
- is still doing reasonably well at sleeping through the night
- has a much better attitude than Makayla when it comes to going potty (Lukas has pooed on the potty) ;' )
Flying to India today! It's been a long day. I accomplished a lot. Everything just clicked.

My dad drove me to SFO. We hung out for a while looking at some really beautiful crystals on display. We chit-chatted a bunch and had some heart to heart expressions.
Had a little fun with airport security. The picture is EFF's Bill of Rights - Security Editon.

On 20 February, a child receives an oral polio vaccine during a routine immunization session at the health centre in the town of Nyunzu in Katanga Province. Two drops of the vaccine are needed per child in each of several vaccination rounds to ensure complete immunity against the disease.
From 12 to 22 February 2012, UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador Mia Farrow travelled to Chad and the Democratic Republic of the Congo to promote expanded polio eradication efforts and to review other UNICEF-supported programmes. Ms. Farrow met with children affected by polio; with religious leaders to help raise critical support for increased immunization coverage; and with partner representatives from the Global Polio Eradication Initiative a public-private partnership led by governments and spearheaded by the World Health Organization (WHO), Rotary International, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and UNICEF. Her visits follow an important milestone towards eradicating the highly infectious disease: In January, India one of just four polio-endemic countries remaining in the world for the first time reported a full year with no new polio cases. (Afghanistan, Nigeria and Pakistan are the other three endemic countries.) In the Democratic Republic of the Congo where more than 5.4 million people have died from years of conflict, disease and malnutrition circulation of an imported wild poliovirus has persisted for over a year. Ms. Farrow visited eastern parts of the country, meeting with polio survivors in Katanga Province where a polio outbreak persists and visiting health centres and a settlement for children and families displaced by conflict. In South Kivu Province, Ms. Farrow met with child labourers, survivors of sexual violence and with children demobilized from armed groups, in addition to visiting various health sites.
