Vaccinators in Iraq are Battling Measles

The fight for human life is being waged in Iraq against an unseen killer. A team of 7 vaccinators has taken their fight to a very difficult area of the world. They must be very alert and cautious due to the nature of the area that they are in. Many of the workers feel that children that could have been vaccinated are unable to recieve care due to the war-like conditions of Iraq. The operation is very much door-to-door. Each location that has been covered must be marked in order to keep an accurate record of who has received care. Some of the Iraqi mothers must be convinced to allow their child to be vaccinated due to a lack of complete understanding about its benefits. These vaccinators are changing the lives of women and childern that would otherwise be left uncared for.
