village of Aba Yohannes where hundreds of women and children are waiting for a much-
needed immunization campaign. This is not an easy job, but she has no alternative. For

Dr. Albert Sabin is best known for developing the incredibly successful oral vaccine for polio. In 1961, the United States Public Health Service approved his vaccine that protected against both infection and paralysis from poliomyelitis. Compared to Jonas Salk's vaccine that was injected and had produced complications, Sabin's vaccine was easier to distribute, safer, and provided longer immunity to the disease.
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/

Pulse Polio Immunization of children being done on 4th of July 2010 as part of National project in New Delhi India. Venue is Health Post of Rotary Club of Delhi Panchshila Park
Village Samho, Samho Block, Dist. Begusarai, Bihar, INDIA. Pinky Kumari, Cold Chain Handler, prepares to keep vaccine in vaccine carriers at Primary health centre (PHE) 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.

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.

Sinovac Biotech, a Chinese biopharmaceutical company, has said that their Covid-19 vaccine will work 99 per cent sure. Updates china track recent corona virus vaccine. Less than six months after the world first learned of the novel corona virus (SARS- CoV 2) in Wuhan , China, more than 110 teams are currently in contention, speeding up efforts to produce a ready-made vaccine. In India, too, many vaccines are in the development phase, and medicinal trials are also underway for treatment. The reason behind the rush is a staggering number of cases involving Covid-19 (past 6 million) and death tolls (over 350,000 globally). As of May 27 there are 151,876 cases of corona in India alone.Large pharmaceutical companies such as Gilead Sciences, Pfizer and Moderna are racing to find a successful vaccine, among others. In India, Patanjali from Ramdev also joined the race in developing a corona virus vaccine.
It is vital to obtain all the facts before taking any type of vaccinations or going through any type of immunizations while pregnant – while some vaccines are suggested, others are specifically not to be taken by expectant women. Immunizations during maternity could be suggested in particular cases greater than others. Women who operate in […]

As a part of her routine immunization, Yusuf Akhlaque’s one-year-old daughter, Aisha Fatima, is being administered inactivated polio vaccine (IPV) injection by Lady Health Supervisor, Kunja Baruah, at Assam Medical College in Dibrugarh. Two and a half years ago, Yusuf Akhlaque’s elder son, Aashir (now aged four and a half, not seen), had suffered from rotavirus, causing severe diarrhea and vomiting. He had not been vaccinated against the disease and was treated at a private hospital. After being informed by the doctor that this could have been prevented through vaccination, Yusuf Akhlaque and his wife Saika Faiyaz now get their daughtervaccinated as prescribed on a timely basis

Awareness-raising message for free immunization painted on the outside wall of the health center in the convergence commune of Kobéla, Nzérékoré region, Guinea. UNICEF Guinea country office in collaboration with UNICEF WCARO regional office and UNICEF New York headquarters, conducted a field mission in October 2022 to review the status of the effective implementation of primary health care and the Child Friendly Communities (CFC) initiative in Nzérékoré region, Guinea.
The administrative region of Nzérékoré, located in the southeast of Guinea, 954 km from the capital Conakry, includes 6 health districts and has an estimated total population of approximately 2 million inhabitants. The epidemiological profile of this region is characterized by outbreaks of epidemics, including cases of measles, Ebola virus disease, Lassa hemorrhagic fever, and Marburg. Over the past two decades, the Ministry of Health and Public Hygiene in Guinea has been committed to making maternal, newborn, and child health a priority. However, insufficient progress has been made based on the results of the DHS from 1999 to 2018. There has been a slight decrease in neonatal mortality rates from 48 to 32 per 1,000 live births, infant and child mortality from 177 per 1,000 to 111 deaths per 1,000 live births, and infant mortality from 98 deaths to 67 per 1,000 in 2018. Only 27% of children under 5 years of age sleep under Long Lasting Insecticidal Nets (LLINs). 55% of children under 5 with diarrhea received treatment with Oral Rehydration Solutions (ORS) and only 22% with ORS-Zinc. Only 83% of children with Acute Respiratory Infections (ARI) received treatment or counseling and 30% on the same day. Only 24% of children aged 12-23 months received all vaccinations with persistent measles outbreaks. Low rate of exclusive breastfeeding 33%. High prevalence of stunting at 30%, 9% are emaciated or acutely malnourished and 16% are underweight. Low level of sanitation, 52% of households have an improved sanitation facility. The Ministry of Health's main strategy for Universal Health Coverage (UHC) is based on primary health care. In 2018, UNICEF in collaboration with the Ministry of Health and Public Hygiene (MSHP) operationalized this new policy in 40 communes known as convergence communes with the Ministry of Territorial Administration and Decentralization (MATD).
