They did not, as there were not enough vaccines for the whole population or even for the 80% of it, which was the initial goal. They ended up vaccinating a small percentage of the population, but it was effective because they used a strategy called ring vaccination.
As my classmates said, they didn't manage to vaccine the whole population. This could be linked to the first video of vaccines and the uncertainty that the polio vaccine had on whether it was going to be able to reach out to all the infected children.
No, they didn't manage, as the quantity of vaccine wasn't enough they applied the strategy of ring vaccination wich consists on vaccinating only the people that has contact with infected individuals.
They did not manage to vaccinate the whole population because there were too many people to vaccinate and there were very few vaccines. For this reason, they decided to initiate a strategy known as the "vaccination ring". This strategy consists of vaccinating only people who are in contact with or around a person with polio. In this way, only 15% of the population was vaccinated.
No, it is impossible to vaccinate everyone in the country because Nigeria has a huge population. In fact, it is even impossible to vaccinate the 80% of it. As a consequence, they had to think of a strategy: the "vaccination ring" where more or less, 15% of people get vaccinated, those ones who are close to victims.
No, because it was impossible to vaccinate the entire population, not even 80% of it. But due to the "vaccination ring" strategy they are able to eradicate the disease, administering the vaccine to people inside the "confined ring", in the presence of a positive case.
No, the plan was to vaccinate 80% of Nigeria's population, but it was impossible to vaccinate 80% of the population, as there were too many people for the amount of vaccine available. The new strategy was to vaccinate 15% of the population, using a method called "ring vaccination". If this method were applied well, it was still possible to eradicate smallpox.
No, they didn't. There was too people to vaccinate and there were not enough vaccines for everyone. They bet for another strategy called ring vaccination that consisted in detecting all smallpox cases and vaccinating those people in the immediate vicinity of the victim. This way, you could only vaccinate 15% of the population and still erradicate smallpox.
