“We always manage to get here, but sometimes it’s easier than others. In the rainy season, I might have to wade with my bicycle over my shoulders and the cold box [containing vaccines] under my arm.” “Today we have two children to vaccinate with their first dose of diphtheria, tetanus and pertussis or whooping cough (DTP). I’m also going to follow up some children who haven’t been immunized against measles.” - Jina Kiaku Mianfipa - nurse, DRC
