Ivory Coast May 2009

In May I went to Ivory Coast with UNICEF to cover the Tetanus Vaccination Campaign"

Sabra Seydou arrived at the Abobo Kennedy clinic in Abidjan with only a few minutes to spare before giving birth.  This is her second visit to the Abobo Kennedy clinic in Abidjan since the beginning of her pregnancy.  Extreme poverty has meant Sabra could not afford pre-natal tests or consultations.  She was however able to have her first vaccination against tetanus, provided free by the Ivoirian government. Her second vaccination, that which would provide immunity against the deadly bacteria for her self and her unborn child, was scheduled for next week.....
