Afghanistan utilized the first supply of bi-valent polio vaccine during immunization activities on 15-17 December 2009. It is anticipated that the new vaccine will serve as an important tool for simultaneously targeting the two remaining strains of the wild polio virus, particularly in volatile areas of the country where children are difficult to reach. This round of the vaccination campaign in Afghanistan was financed by the Government of Canada, which assumes presidency of the G8 in 2010 and first placed polio on the group's agenda when it last held the presidency in 2002.
There will be no regular weekly meeting on February 10th so that we may attend the 2nd Annual Pillars of America luncheon/presentation at the Eagan Center. Tickets are $30pp. Contact Lynn Spivey at (907) 441-2416. Counts as a make-up.
