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.

Naazma Begum goes door to door visiting young mothers from the Dholka (drums) community and persuades them to attend an routine immunization session scheduled the next day. 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.

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.
