Vaccine team makes a house call

Jessica Teng, PIH – Artibonite Region, Haiti

Today we saw two young people holding an elderly woman walking slowly along a dirt path. The two young adults told us they had already received their vaccines, but they were now helping their elderly, blind family member go the post to get hers. We thought it’d be a good idea to let this woman stay at her home, so we offered to bring the vaccine to her instead of having her walk the rocky, dirt road to the post. So after wrapping up at the vaccine post we all followed the road back to the old woman's house, carrying a cold thermos of vaccines and the tablet to log her information. Delivering vaccine to this woman was a great way for our team to end the day.
