In northern Somalia, volunteer Vaccinators are trying to contain the country’s recent outbreak of polio – and so far, they’re succeeding.
HARGEISA, Somalia, 18 December 2013 – In May 2013, the first case of polio seen in Somalia in more than six years was announced in Mogadishu. Plans for mass vaccination campaigns were drawn up. The authorities in Hargeisa, in Somalia’s northern region of Somaliland, took no chances, and they announced a high alert. Somaliland, Puntland and South Central regions launched an emergency vaccination campaign in June.
