In this debut episode of Raising Tiny Humans, a new mini-series from Mama Tales, we explore the growing controversy surrounding the recent polio vaccine campaign in Kenya. With reports of adverse reactions and increasing mistrust in government initiatives, many parents are questioning the safety and necessity of vaccinations.
I share my personal experiences as a mother navigating vaccine decisions, reflect on Kenya’s history of polio eradication efforts, and unpack the layers of mistrust that have shaped public perceptions of government-led health campaigns.
This episode isn’t just about vaccines—it’s about the deeper challenges of parenting in a society grappling with fear, misinformation, and systemic distrust.
