Sept. 19, 2010 - Kura, KANO, NIGERIA - In the village of Kura, vaccinators look at a map of the region near Kano, Nigeria where they will look for children under the age of five to vaccinate against polio...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. .20100919 Mary F.
