Challenges to vaccination service delivery

Some of the biggest challenges to delivering vaccination to children in remote areas of this country are infrastuctural - roads are poor, health centers in poor condition, the cold chain necessary to keep vaccine viable in poor condition.

The Stop Transmission of Polio (STOP) program recruits, trains and sends volunteers to high risk countries to work on the front lines for service delivery. These are some pictures taken by a STOP volunteer, showing a mud and thatch health center, a broken down refrigerator and what it takes to navigate the roads by motorcycle.
