Sept. 18, 2010 - Kano, KANO, NIGERIA - Josephine Kamara, the UNICEF officer in charge of social mobilization for the polio vaccine campaign, left in black, listens to the protests of a mother, middle, who had refused the polio vaccine for her children. .Religious zealotry and misinformation have coerced villagers in the Muslim north of Nigeria into refusing polio vaccinations and led to the reemergence of polio only a few years after it nearly joined smallpox on the CDC's list of eradicated diseases. The polio vaccine was banned in northern Nigeria in the summer of 2003 due to claims by clerics and politicians that the vaccines were tainted and were a Western ploy to spread HIV and make the Muslim girls sterile. During the one year ban, over 3000 children were crippled by polio and over 20 countries re-infected with the Nigeria strain of the virus. .20100918 Mary F.
