Lichinga, Mozambique – It is the last day of polio vaccination campaign in Niassa, a province in northern Mozambique, and a mobile vaccination team headed by health worker Celina Miguel is going house-to-house in a small village.
The team has just come up against a refusal.
“They want to give my child an illness, an illness to kill her!” says the young mother who turned down the Oral Polio Vaccine for her daughter.
Miguel tries to speak to the parent, but she is not hopeful, “I’m not from this area so I think she doesn’t trust me,” she says.
