One-day-old Musa Mohammed is administered an Oral Polio Vaccine at a UNICEF-supported health center in Homosha, in the remote Benishangul-Gumuz region of Ethiopia, Tuesday 16 January 2018. Despite remaining above the national average, Benishangul-Gumuz's newborn mortality rate fell by nearly 50 per cent between 2000 and 2016, from 65 deaths for every 1,000 live births to 35 deaths for every 1,000 live births. The improvement is due in part to health centers such as this one. Despite numerous challenges, including limited running water and refrigeration, dedicated doctors, nurses and midwives are able to provide comprehensive pre and postnatal care, delivery support and other lifesaving services for mothers and babies in the area. ©UNICEF Ethiopia/2018/Mulugeta Ayene

"We think the vaccine is much more important than antiviral drugs," Cieslak told summit attendees. "The vaccine is much more effective. Among healthy persons under 65 years of age it is 70 – 90 percent effective. It reduces fatalities by 80 percent and hospitalizations by 50-60 percent."

This sweetheart is a tough cookie. We had her immunizations a couple of days ago. She screamed when the doctor tried to pry her mouth open to count her teeth. She was upset not because it hurt, but because someone did something against her will. The moment after it was done she opened her mouth and said Aaah and started pointing to her teeth . The actual shot had a millisecond of crying. She falls, hits herself, stands up and keeps going. I hope she keeps this attitude going. How do your kiddos handle doctor's visits?

In Jan 2011 the Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunizations (GAVI) and its partners are rolling out a new vaccine to prevent pneumonia in Kenya. In the developing world, pneumonia kills in the neighborhood of 1.4 million kids every year. Pneumococcal, the deadliest strain of that illness (and a major cause of what we might call ìregularî pneumonia), kills 800,000. Kenya's pneumococcal vaccine's official launch date is Feb 14, but we were able to photograph a clinic near the Kibera slum in Nairobi that already started providing the vaccine this week. This health center is the Langata (sometimes called Kibera) Districtís regional distribution center for the 36 clinics within the district. They collect all of the vaccines from the Regional Disbursement Center and, since they must maintain the cold chain to ensure the efficacy and safety of the vaccine, haul them back to Langata in well-used, white Styrofoam coolers. There, they are stored in an upright, avocado green refrigerator. But, it works and thatís what counts. They are then divided up and dispersed to the 27 clinics in the District that have trained personnel to give the vaccines.

Even be fatal for many small babies. The performers engross the villagers and in the process help them in the awareness towards their children's good health keeping.
