Ben’s Announcements:  The fight to eradicate polio got a boost with the distribution of 5000-8000 cell phones - odd you might think, however the NID teams can communicate quickly with the operations centers to report new case, update lists, send worker to talk with families that have indicated parental refusal of the vaccine, with 35 million children under 5 years old - tracking the information is critical.
