UNICEF: Progress for children in Sudan
from recent posts - blip.tv (beta) May 23, 2008
KHARTOUM/JUBA, Sudan, 22 May 2008 -- UNICEF Deputy Executive Director Hilde Johnson has been in Sudan this week, reviewing the progress which has been made for children's rights since the signing of the Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA) in 2005 that ended decades of civil war in most parts of the country. In Warrap State, Ms. Johnson saw how investment in local infrastructure is delivering tangible peace dividends for children, as she visited a new vaccine storage facility and school buildings constructed with the assistance of UNICEF. Since 2005, more than 12 million children have benefited from measles vaccination campaigns, while school enrolment in Southern Sudan has more than tripled since the signing of the CPA and almost doubled in the northern states.

Measles Outbreak and Vaccinations
from KUOW's The Conversation Podcast May 05, 2008
There have been 64 cases of measles across the country, including 12 in Washington State. The Centers for Disease Control says that's more measles than in the past seven years. This is a remarkable turnaround. In 2000 the CDC said it had eliminated measles. Most of the cases are in children who were not vaccinated. Some parents fear possible side affects of vaccines. Do you get your kids vaccinated? Why or why not? Also today, Ralph Nader's Vice Presidential running mate Matt Gonzalez. The former San Francisco Supervisor introduced instant runoff voting there four years ago. And US Housing and Urban Development is giving out money to provide housing to homeless veterans.

from popular posts - blip.tv (beta) December 05, 2007
UNICEF and partners are today announcing a dramatic reduction in worldwide measles mortality rates since 2000, especially in Africa. Here is just one of the success stories on immunization.MUPANDAWANA, Zimbabwe, 29 November 2007 -- One can still see the legacy of polio in the limping walks of a handful of villagers in Mupandawana, a small community with a population of 300. As word spread that a national drive to prevent the resurgence of polio would begin this week, parents were unwavering in their support of the campaign -- their memories still tainted with the reminder of bygone days when polio ruined childhoods.It is this kind of community support that has made the implementation of Zimbabwe's Child Health Days successful. Now in their third consecutive year, Child Health Days have played a significant role in raising immunization rates, reducing measles and boosting child survival in Zimbabwe.

This is an hour-long conversation covering important topics about asthma and allergy. It's not just the "glossy summary" information that you might hear or find on any website or recycled newspaper article. This is very progressive information, and straight talk from leading allergy professionals. Visit allergyware.com for more details on the call and the participants.
