Excerpt
from article
"Thousands of health workers
and volunteers traveled to isolated
areas, border zones and indigenous
communities to take vaccines
to children who in many cases
had never been vaccinated or
who had not completed their vaccine
series. Women of childbearing
age and the elderly also were
priority targets of the campaign."
