August is National Immunization Awareness Month. π
Here's the part people underestimate: the hard part of immunisation isn't the vaccine. It's everything around it.
Keeping it cold on a road that isn't a road. Finding the child again for the second dose. Records that survive a camp, a move, a monsoon.
Where health systems are strong, vaccination feels routine. Where they're weak β in displacement camps, in rural districts β routine is exactly what's missing, and preventable disease walks straight back in.
Routine care is not boring. In the places we work, it's the whole fight.
