Afghanistan: polio vaccines & other efforts
Here is a short, 1.5 minute video, produced by UNICEF, that illustrates the conduct of polio immunization in Afghanistan. I alluded to this immunization drive in a previous post.
The details such as the chalk markers are very interesting procedural points that you rarely get in news articles or scholarly papers–the details, right?
The second 3-minute video starts out with a bit of heart-warming introduction, and then also gives the details. It also underscores the limits and opportunities to deliver public health as a partnership between Afghanistan’s capable citizens and those of the U.S. military personnel involved–and consider themselves stakeholders as well.
Now these are just great: and they don’t stop us from seeing the need for more of the same. Hope you enjoy.
