CORE Group's Polio Eradication Efforts

Over the last 10 years, the CORE Group, in partnership with UNIFEC, Rotary, and the governments of India, Nepal, Ethiopia, and Angola, has worked to reduce the burden of polio by mobilizing communities through routine immunization campaigns and vaccination services.

Understanding the Barriers to Immunization

CORE Group and its partners work with communities to reduce the barriers to immunization. Common barriers include things like a lack of awareness regarding vaccination, poor surveillance capacity, and a belief that vaccinations can be harmful to children. In July 2008, the Core Group Polio Project team conducted a baseline assessment for the project to better understand the specific barriers in each of the four CGPP countries.
