Articles by Melissa Corkum

In Africa, Melissa Corkum is best known for her work with UNICEF in the social aspects of vaccination in East Africa and in Nigeria, her most recent duty station. Without the work on social mobilization among reticent populations, Nigeria would not have achieved its present polio-free status.
