“Angola: Optimism About Poliomyelitis Eradication by 2005” Africa News Service (www.allafrica.com) (07/18/03)
Information provided by the Angolan Health Ministry, the World Health Organization, and UNICEF suggests that Angola has a good chance of eliminating poliomyelitis from the country by 2005. Fatima Valente, director of the Broad Vaccination Programme, said the prospects of Angola meeting the deadline set by the United Nations are favorable, as there has been no recorded case of polio in the country since 2001. Further fueling optimism is the improved quality of prevention, such as epidemiological surveillance and door-to-door routine vaccine coverage. Two upcoming rounds of immunization, in late July and late August, aim to vaccinate 4.5 million Angolan children under the age of five against polio.

"A foolish faith in authority is the worst enemy of truth." -- Albert Einstein, letter to a friend, 1901 "I know of no safe depository of the ultimate powers of the society but the people themselves, and if we think them not enlightened enough to exercise control with a wholesome discretion, the remedy is not to take it from them, but to inform their discretion by education." -- Thomas Jefferson, letter to William C. Jarvis, September 28, 1820 "What's the point of vaccination if it doesn't protect you from the unvaccinated?" -- Sandy Gottstein "Who gets to decide what the greater good is and how many will be sacrificed to it?" -- Sandy Gottstein |
