Reasserting the Integrity of Immunization Campaigns

by Eze Eluchie


When the United States announced that it had faked a 'Polio Immunization exercise' to confirm the location of Bin Laden in Abbottabad, Pakistan, prior to killing the al-Qeaida leader, any discerning observer knew genuine Polio-Immunization workers were being put at risk and that it was only a matter of time before the carnage which took place early this week in Pershawar will erupt.

The integrity of Immunization Campaigns, particularly in volatile regions, including Northern Nigeria, has really taken a bashing. The question now, for the sake of global health, how will these very vital healthcare procedure reassert itself?
