A doctor and nurse showed up today to give the students a vaccination. I asked Sokum what disease it prevented, and he said it was for "red spots." I think it's for measles and rubella because I read an article last month about a nationwide campaign to vaccinate all school children. The kids knew exactly what happening when they walked into our classroom. Some of the students actually seemed excited and jumped up, hoping to get inoculated first. A few others tried to hide and cried when it was their turn.
When they were done, the doctor dipped their finger in purple paint, so they knew who had been vaccinated.
