Mother Fartuna Abdullahi brought in baby Muhim Mohammed, 9 months old (wearing a white and green shirt), to get his first measles vaccination. She has seven children at home and makes sure they all get their routine childhood vaccinations. She knew to bring Muhim today because the social mobilizers came to her house and let her know about the campaign. She has lives in Jilab IDP camp for 4 years now. She was displaced to Jilab when her family lost all of their animals to the previous drought crisis. To earn small money she cleans for people in the town of Garowe.
There is a mobile clinic that goes into the IDP camp 3 times a week to provide vaccinations as communicable diseases like diarrhea, cholera and measles are more frequent due to lack of water and displacement during the drought crisis. The Mother and Baby Center is one of the locations (a “temporary fixed location”) where a vaccination campaign is taking place today.
The mobile clinic is run by the Jilab Health Center is supported by UNICEF and the Ministry of Health through donations by the Government of Sweden. Maimuna Hussein (giving the vaccine), 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.

Why Vaccines are So Important? Which vaccines does your child need and when? What is the Child Immunization & Vaccination Schedule? These are very common questions among expecting parents, or parents with Newborn, Infants or children. Vaccines help protect infants, children, and teens from serious diseases and help them develop immunity or protection against diseases before they even come into contact with them. Learn more about Child Immunization & Vaccination Schedule.

WHO estimates about 160,000 to 180,000 Afghan children missed their routine vaccination in 2012.
