A massive vaccination campaign is saving lives in wartorn Yemen paid UNICEFUSA
is successfully vaccinating children against measles and other potentially life-threatening infectious diseases.
The districts and governates where we have problems are our top priority. We have a specific strategy to reach the children and women with vaccination services. For example, we have challenges reaching the children in Sa'ada. We conducted our vaccination campaign there, and we continued our strategy by reaching out to influential community members and religious leaders and using different alternative measures to ensure that every child is vaccinated.
What are some of the conditions vaccinators face in remote areas, where they're reaching the most vulnerable? Workers are climbing mountains, they are fording rivers. There are always many challenges, and this war has added challenges to the service deliveries. We always involve the local team in the service deliveries. We have three strategies: The Fixed Strategy, where the population comes to get vaccinated. The Outreach Strategy, in which teams go to different areas to provide services.
