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.

Just got her next batch of immunizations at the vet.
I got all choked up while there, because there were a couple of highly-charged situations going on, both involving geriatric dogs having a really tough time. One involved a big dog who seemed to be failing fast, lying on the floor on its side in one of the exam rooms, surrounded by an overflow of owners and onlookers in the hallway. The dog kept bursting into loud horrible wails, so loud they drowned out all other conversation in the building.
The other situation involved a woman with an east coast accent, and a very big old dog who was too heavy to lift from the back of her SUV. The dog, suddenly ill and very lethargic, may have been sick with something very contagious, so the vet techs had asked her to keep the dog in her car until there was an exam room available. She was waiting a long time, and her son, whom she'd enlisted to assist her in carrying the dog, had to leave to go to work. She started to get upset, yelling at everyone. The staff implored her to calm down and she said, through tears, "It's MY dog, I think I'm allowed to get a little emotional!"
Hazel and I were waiting at the front counter to pay the charges, and I suddenly felt guilty thinking others were envious of the ease of my puppy's carefree youth... not knowing at all that I have two senior-aged dogs at home and the thoughts running through my mind about them. I started to cry.

Orange hijab 3 kids – Hadija Abdirahman brought her 3 kids to the Health Center because her smallest child has a fever.
Jilab Health Center is supported by UNICEF and the Ministry of Health through donations by the Government of Sweden. Maimuna Hussein (wearing burgundy headscarf and dark glasses), Head of Health Center and Nurse Services. They do immunization and nutrition social mobilization, mother and child maternal health 24-hour services, antenatal care, postnatal care. UNICEF supports nutrition, vaccination and general support. Catchment area is I 27,271 people. Some people come from 6 kms away. She says that 99 per cent of mothers get their children vaccinated once they have the consultations. Some community members challenge getting children vaccinated but when there is an outbreak, they realize that the vaccines are necessary. It’s usually fathers that resist because they are away at work when the mobilizers come or when the mom goes to the clinic and gets educated about vaccinations. She said that spreading the information about vaccines should be increased through radio and SMS.
The Jilab Health Center vaccinates around 200 children below 5 years old. They also scan and treat children for SAM. In June they screened 709 children and admitted 21. Due to the drought there was a campaign to teach families about using the MUAC to screen there children at home and this is helping to catch malnutrition early.
The Main Hospital in this area is 8-10 kms away so when Maimuna refers a mom out, she worries that they might not make it there. She wishes they had an ambulance to be able to transport those who need it. ©UNICEF Somalia/2022/Lisa Hill
