Getting a jab: routine immunisation during the COVID-19 pandemic Format Rose Foley and Sammy Nyaberi A baby smiles and wriggles in his mother’s arms at a health clinic in Mathare informal settlement in Nairobi, while a nurse prepares in the corner. Health information posters line the walls. “Today I came to the clinic for the ten weeks’ immunisation,” explains the baby’s mother, Sarah Adhiambo. She looks down at her son, a black and white mask covering her nose and mouth. Moments later the nurse holds cotton wool to the site of the injection on her baby’s thigh, while Sarah cuddles him closely. “He’s been given the rota vaccine first which prevents diarrhoea, then the polio vaccine, then the two injections that are being given at ten weeks,” she says.
