Tanzania: Behind the two drops -people making polio vaccination count

During Tanzania’s polio vaccination campaign, a coordinated effort by health authorities, partners like Gavi, UNICEF, and WHO, involves planning, community mobilization, and progress tracking. Community and religious leaders help inform and encourage families to participate. Community health workers go door-to-door to identify eligible children, explain the importance of the vaccine, and ensure no child is missed. Success depends on thorough organization and community trust.
