Polio Vaccination Effort "Generally Satisfactory"http://allafrica.com/stories/200211050090.html Polio Vaccination Effort "Generally Satisfactory"
UN Integrated Regional Information Networks November 5, 2002 Nairobi A polio vaccination drive in the eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo has yielded "generally satisfactory" results, the UN Mission in the DRC (known as MONUC) reported in its latest bulletin, published on Saturday. MONUC, quoting the World Health Organisation (WHO), said 9.1 million children were vaccinated in two phases, but that the third phase had yielded less successful results. At least 100,000 children could not be vaccinated during the three segments of the programme. "Vaccination teams had a lot of difficulty moving around because of renewed hostilities," MONUC said, quoting the WHO. It said no child had been vaccinated in the health zones of Gombari, Haut Ulele, and Isiro. Gombari, in Orientale Province, South Kivu and Maniema were the most affected by insecurity.

 "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 |
