ExploreIn a small, remote community called Mongo Craidu in Falaba District, Northern Sierra Leone, Mariama gave birth to her first child. As part of the healthcare system’s standard practice, her newborn received the Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) vaccine*, which protects against tuberculosis.
However, Mariama was hesitant to take her child for further immunisation. Like many in her community, she had heard misconceptions about vaccines and was not sure of their necessity. She feared that additional vaccines might harm her child; and with limited access to accurate health information, she decided not to take her baby for routine immunisation.
*BCG vaccine is not supported by Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance.
