Hafso Ahmed, 27 years old, holds her son as he is waiting for his polio vaccine in Hamar Jajab district in Mogadishu, Somalia on Tuesday 27 0ctober 2020.
The COVID-19 pandemic has revealed what is at stake when communities do not have the protective shield of immunization against an infectious disease. When vaccines are available, they are the most effective tool to prevent dangerous disease outbreaks.
Staying informed about their benefits and understanding the risks of not getting vaccinated has never been so important. Community mobilizers play an instrumental role in this.
During the recent polio immunization campaign, 8 951 vaccinators went from door to door and 3,390 community mobilizers sensitized the target communities. The two-part campaign, organized by the federal Ministry of Health, UNICEF and WHO, reached more than a million children under the age of five in south and central regions of Somalia.

Gabe waits in terror before his well child check this morning. His terror became a reality with his immunizations. But now he's set for MCV4 and the first of two HEP-A shots. The HEP-A shot made him giggle. However, the MCV4 shot made his left arm numb all day.

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.

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.

10 May 2012, Tajikhan Village, Jabalseraj District Parwan Province, Afghanistan : Immunization log books at the Sar-e-Hause medical health clinic. The clinic is funded by the Strengthening Health Activities for Rural Poor Project (SHARP). SHARP aims to improve the health and nutrition status of Afghans, focusing especially on women and children and the underserved areas of the country. Already remarkable progress has been made in the reduction of infant and under five mortality as well as pregnancy related mortality. With World Bank support in 11 provinces the number of health clinics has nearly tripled from 148 to 432 and about 85% of the population now lives in districts which now have service providers to deliver a basic package of health service. The project supports Afghanistan's Health and Nutrition Sector Strategy which is the governments blueprint for the health sector program for the period 2008-13. Picture by Graham Crouch/World Bank
