Now that she and her family have fled to a displacement camp, those workers want to catch her children in time. Here in the camps housing thousands of families seeking safety from the extremists, health teams are going from tent to tent, inoculating youngsters against the disease that withers limbs and disables children for life. At first, Gana is afraid to let the outreach workers vaccinate her baby. Eventually they persuade her that the three-week-old child is not too young for immunization, which can take place as early as the day of birth. The complicated fight against polio is yet another way the Nigeria-based extremist group Boko Haram has disrupted life in the northeast, leaving children vulnerable to an entirely pre- ventable disease. “When such children come to the camps or host communi- ties they become a threat to other children,” said Almai Some, the field coordinator in Borno state for the vaccination cam- paign run by Rotary.

The 28-year-old from Maryland crossed the finish line on Boylston Street on Monday in an official time of 2 hour, 4 minutes, 39 seconds. It was the slowest winning time in 30 years. It gives McFadden five Boston Marathon wins and a record-setting 22 victories in the Abbott World Marathon Majors series. The Russian-born McFadden is a graduate of the University of Illinois. She says she’s over- whelmed after winning what she knew would be a tough race. She also won this year’s women’s wheelchair race at the Chicago Marathon.
