# 10 A health worker in immunization outreach (SHALINIE)

These pictures were taken on the second week of September 2016 during the follow up of defaulters in Barangay Banawa, Cebu City. Immunization at the health center is done every Wednesday. After the immunization session, Target Client List is checked for any defaulters. Every week the nurse go out to the community to follow up defaulters. Together with the Barangay Health Workers they go house to house and find these clients.




Pentavalen, OPV and Amv vaccines were given respectively by the health worker. It is very important that during the transport cold chain management is maintained. Vaccine carriers are brought to protect vaccines from heat. Just enough vaccines are brought to the community to avoid unnecessary exposure of other vaccines to potential extrme heat.

    I think that it is a hard work!
    Once I went to work in Laocai (It is a muontainous province at the North of Vietnam). The health workers said that sometime they had to go to family for injection because poeple did not bring their children to vaccination. Distance from clinic to family a bout 20 km and the health work go by motobike. It's very hard.
