The last case of Small Pox was found in Somalia in 1977. In 1980, WHO declared the world
free of small pox.
Currently, the WHO is spearheading a Polio eradication program. Having missed the initial
polio eradication target date of 2005, and again in 2010, polio will be eradicated in the near
future.
Other diseases that may become a target for eradication include Measles, Rubella.
Vaccination save lives- The Lives of 3 million children are saved every year thanks to
vaccination.
•
Bringing under control, infectious diseases that were responsible for high
morbidity and mortality.

Measles was a major cause of mortality. Although measles is still responsible for close to half a
million death of children under five, Vaccination has had a major impact in decreasing
morbidity and mortality since measles was included in the Expanded Program on Immunization
(E.P.I) in early seventies.
Diphtheria is currently a rare disease thanks to immunization.

Vaccines/Vaccination Paradox
•
VACCINES ARE NEEDED BY HEALTHY PEOPLE. HEALTHY PEOPLE ARE
NOT PATIENTS, THEY ARE CLIENTS. UNLESS IN DISEASE OUT BREAKS,
PEOPLE DO NOT FEEL A SENSE OF URGENCY TO TAKE A VACCINE.
•
VACCINES ARE AVAILED THROUGH CHANNELS WHERE SICK PEOPLE
GO.
•
VACCINES ARE ADMINISTERED BY CLINICIANS. CLINICIANS LARGELY
DEAL WITH PATIENTS WHO VISIT THEIR CLINICS/HOSPITALS.
–
IN ORDER TO INCREASE ACCESS TO VACCINATION SERVICES, THERE IS
NEED TO SET UP USER FRIENDLY VACCINATION SERVICE VENTRES. EVEN IF
IT IS IN A HOSPITAL. IT NEED TO BE EASILY ACCESSIBLE TO CLIENTS.
–
