WeMUNIZE, USAID Nigeria by USAID Digital Development

2

In 2018, USAID launched the second-annual Digital Development Awards (the “Digis”) to recognize USAID projects that harness the power of digital tools and data-driven decision making. The WeMUNIZE program was one of five winners chosen out of the 140 applicants. It is implemented by local technology start-up Black Swan Tech Ltd through USAID’s Maternal and Child Survival Program led by Jhpiego.

Faced with limited local record keeping and low levels of literacy and connectivity, the WeMUNIZE program uses a combination of digital record keeping and community engagement to increase early childhood immunizations. For families participating in the WeMUNIZE program, dropout rates have fallen to below 10 percent.

The project recruits primarily women for their team of trained volunteers and supports them with free mobile phones, empowering women to help their communities and overcome social barriers.

Thanks to its coordination with the Government of Nigeria, the project shares the immunization data generated to improve stakeholder coordination and transfers ownership to the state government to build local capacity.

WESTPOINT, Liberia - February 3, 2015

Vaccines resume at Star of the Sea clinic as Ebola cases subside and general health care services can return. At the height of the Ebola epidemic, most hospitals were forced to close their doors to anyone but Ebola patients, resulting in an increase of pregnant women dying from preventable causes. However, the Star of the Sea clinic, run by Catholic Relief Services with support from USAID, is now providing critical health care services including triage, delivering newborn babies, and continuing vital childhood immunizations. As the Ebola situation improves, these efforts to strengthen primary health care are providing for the needs of mothers and children.

South Sudan, 2020: “To keep children healthy, parents must bring them to the health centres for vaccinations. That is how we prevent infections,” says Lucy, holding her boy Amin. The world has made such tremendous progress that, in 2018, 86% of the world’s children received the vaccines they need to grow up healthy. But unacceptable gaps remain. Here in South Sudan, just 44% of children receive the recommended vaccines. That leaves communities at serious risk of outbreaks and, as the COVID-19 pandemic has shown, an outbreak anywhere is a threat to countries everywhere. We are only as safe as the most vulnerable communities. So as we celebrate progress for children like Amin, we must also commit to reaching those who have been left behind.

ROBIN, HAITI - DECEMBER 16, 2014

Solita Melus (33) holds her baby, Orelus Kerlens Melus after he receives immunizations and is weighed by Ketcia Orilius (37), a community health worker in Haiti. Three months old, Orelus weighs in at 5 kilos, a weight that Ketcia will track on her tablet. Provided by USAID, these tablets are magnifying the work of Ketcia and other health workers in Haiti, allowing them to easily and efficiently store and track the health information and status of their patients. She will also use the tablet to record the vaccinations that she gives to Orelus, including diphtheria, TB, polio and meningitis. Ketcia became a community health worker after being nominated by her community. The training provided by USAID has empowered her to improve the health of women and children in her area and prepare kids for healthier, stronger futures. Solita, Orelus’ mom, could not be more appreciative. Referring to Ketcia, she says, “She is a very good person. She is gentle with the baby and takes good care of the baby.”

Extended Program of Immunization (EPI), Bangladesh by Mohammad Moniruzzaman

Since 1987, the Extended Program on Immunization in Bangladesh has saved the lives of more than 3.5 million children . It has led to the eradication of poliomyelitis and the elimination of neonatal tetanus, and has possibly made the biggest contribution towards Bangladesh's achievement of Millennium Development Goal 4 well ahead of schedule. At least 95% of the 157 million people living in this country have access to vaccines - this in a country where only around 60% of the population has access to the power grid, that sees annual floods, and that has a challenging road transport system and high levels of corruption. This has made Bangladesh's vaccine delivery system a role model for delivering effective interventions in resource-poor settings. This successful story cannot be pinned down on any one crucial factor, but it is rather a result of the development of an effective system involving collaboration between multiple dedicated blocks of society – from front line workers to politicians to journalists.

Dist-Puri, Odisha, INDIA..Measles vaccine bottels arranged for a photograph at district Programme Management Unit, NRHM in Puri. Immunization is one of the most cost effective public health interventions, preventing around 2 million child deaths each year worldwide, and IndiaÕs Immunization Program is the largest in world with respect to the quantity of vaccines used and the number of beneficiaries. Here, Routine Immunization (RI) saves the lives of 400,000 children annually. In OdishaÕs 30 districts and 314 blocks, it is not easy for health workers to reach a population of 4.1 crore. With 30% of the areas difficult to reach, 22% tribal population, 48% people in the BPL category and 17% schedule cast population, Odisha has been one of the most challenges states for them in terms of geography and demography. Despite these odds, during 2013-14, the state provided immunization services at a cost of Rs 30 crore to 8,54,619 children between 0-1 years and 9,40,081 pregnant women to prevent seven diseases such as tuberculosis, diphtheria, whooping cough, tetanus, polio, measles and Hepatitis B. In addition, vitamin A is also administered to children. The current level of full immunization coverage is 62.3% for children (AHS 2011-12), officials say. Since 2009, the program has manifested itself in the Teeka Express, where participation of civil society, NGOs, porters, rickshaw drivers and volunteers strengthen the vaccine delivery logistics. This system has been implemented in 280 out of the 314 blocks of the state, and has reduced vaccine shortage, improved vaccine quality, improved timeliness of reporting, ensured regularization of immunization in hard to reach areas and improved immunization waste management. Odisha governmentÕs RI program has been supported by UNICEF and has positively impacted vaccine logistics management. Training imparted by UNICEF has strengthened the Cold Chain improvement plans and ensured improved coverage of hard to reach areas. .

Building a nanobody library | Free educational graphics by Knowable Magazine Science Graphics Library

This figure shows the five steps to building a nanobody library, including:

- Immunize a camelid

- Extract white blood cells

- Copy genes for nanobodies, insert into phages

- Generate phages that display nanobodies

- “Pan” for desired nanobodies

Scientists are investigating nanobodies and their diminutive brethren for all sorts of purposes.

This research may begin by building a nanobody library: To identify antibody fragments that work against a specific target, like SARS-CoV-2 or a cancer protein, researchers often start by immunizing a camel or shark with their target of interest.

A few weeks later, they take blood from the animal to get white blood cells. From those white blood cells, they make copies of the antibodies’ genes to insert into viruses called bacteriophages that display the nanobodies on their surface. Researchers can then sort through those nanobodies, like panning for gold to find the ones that attach to their protein of interest.
