Same exact program as before, but with more confusion…Many people didn’t understand that we were re-vaccinated ALL the infants again. Then there were the normal language barriers as many households only spoke Seereer, Pulaar, Toukoulo, and anything other than Wolof. There were also several families who, for lack of a good reason, refused to vaccinate their children.
However after 3 exhausting days, another session of kids successfully vaccinated against Polio.
