The meningitis vaccine is recommended for all seventh-graders and first-time students entering college. Meningitis is an inflammation of the protective membranes covering the brain and spinal cord. Bacterial meningitis is very serious and can be deadly. Death can occur in as little as a few hours. Most people recover from meningitis. However, permanent disabilities can result from the infection.

The flu vaccine is recommended for everyone age 6 months and older. While seasonal influenza (flu) viruses can be detected year-round in the United States, flu viruses are most common during the fall and winter. The exact timing and duration of flu seasons can vary, but influenza activity often begins to increase in October. Most of the time flu activity peaks between December and February, although activity can last as late as May.

Mohamed Mohud Hassan is the Head of Jawle Health Center in Garowe town.
Thef Jawle Health Center in Garowe town serves an area of over 33,000 people that includes many internally displaced persons (IDP) camps. The Health Center has a solar powered (on top of the roof on the right) cold chain storage unit to keep vaccines at the right temperature (blue box).

The center has mother and child services, nutrition treatment and a pharmacy.
The cold chain storage is one year old and supported by UNICEF through a Chibania grant and the vaccinations, health worker trainings and some incentives are provided by UNCEF with thanks to GAVI. The mother and child maternal health (MCMH) services are supported through the UK Government and RUTF by USAID.
The main illnesses treated are diarrhoea, upper respitory infections and skin problems, Hassan said. They screen an average of 1000 children a month for malnutrition and admit around 30-40 children for moderate acute malnutrition (MAM) and 20-30 for severe acute malnutrition (SAM). ©UNICEF Somalia/2022/Lisa Hill

Mass Polio Vaccination Campaign Supported by WHO and UNICEF Kicks Off in Iraq
11 August 2014 – Iraq has launched a polio immunization campaign aiming to protect over four million children under the age of 5 throughout the country against the crippling disease.
The four-day campaign, undertaken by the Ministry of Health with the support of WHO and UNICEF, is part of the national response to the re-emergence of the polio virus earlier this year which ended nearly 14 years of Iraq's polio-free status.
“This campaign comes at a critical time while the country is witnessing a huge internal exodus of children fleeing violence and turmoil,” said Marzio Babille, UNICEF Iraq Representative. “This is a top priority for UNICEF. No child should be missed. No child should be paralysed.”
The campaign aims to reach children in conflict zones, displaced communities and host populations. The on-going violence in the country has precipitated the internal displacement of nearly 1.2 million people since the beginning of the year. Almost 200,000 have been displaced only in the last three days alone. UNICEF estimates half of that number are children.
“As the violence spreads, children are being displaced up to three times with their families, often living in overcrowded conditions where they are at a much higher risk of contracting infectious diseases,” said Dr Syed Jaffar Hussain, WHO Iraq Representative. “WHO is working with the national health authorities and partners to ensure that the health of all vulnerable populations, especially children, is protected against diseases like Polio.”
With two cases of polio in Iraq and a relatively high number of unvaccinated children due to difficulties in accessing families and children, especially in conflict zones and due to social reservations, Iraq has now become vulnerable to a wider outbreak of the crippling and incurable disease. WHO and UNICEF are helping health authorities reach children in 12 governorates, including the three governorates in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq where approximately 250,000 Iraqi children and 125,000 Syrian children have taken refuge.
“Iraq is one of seven countries included in a consolidated polio response plan by WHO and UNICEF that aims to reach 25 million children in the region with repeated doses of the vaccine. Everything possible must be done to reach all children and end polio forever,” said Chris Maher, WHO manager for polio eradication.
