Vaccination in Conflict Areas and Humanitarian Emergencies

Please see below 21 items on vaccination in conflict areas and humanitarian emergencies. As we write, DRC is trying to stop Ebola transmission in North Kivu, where at least 20 armed groups are contending for power. The current status of polio eradication remains unknown in Northeast Nigeria, where many LGAs have access issues both for surveillance and for vaccination.

“Stopping Wars for Children” is an account of James Grants approach to creating humanitarian corridors of peace in conflict countries, at https://www.unicef.org/publications/files/Jim-Grant-LR.pdf on pp. 89-110. Item 1 contains a UNICEF update on the situation of children in conflict.

Item 3, from CDC, looks at polio eradication in Mideastern conflict areas. In item 3, Garon et al. discuss the use of surveys in conflict areas. Item 13 looks at approaches to vaccination in conflict areas in Nigeria, Somalia, and Pakistan.

Items 15 through 19 are country reports from DRC, South Sudan, Somalia, Kenya, and Sierra Leone.

Good reading.
