Unicef Launches Vaccination Campaign Against Polio In Sierra Leone

Many children and young adults are suffering from the cruelties committed against them after a decade of civil war. But, rebel soldiers are coming forward at the request of the Revolutionary United Front, RUF, to assist with the immunization of children against polio. The World Health Organization, WHO, aims to achieve a polio free world by the year 2005. With assistance from the U.N. Children’s Fund, UNICEF, young men trade their weapons and military gear for boxes of vaccines. They search the bush to ensure every child receives the precious drop of medicine.(3'57)
