Conflict affects the institutions of health that help vaccination programs. This article addresses the complexity of immunization in the matrix of two African contexts: Sierra Leone and Nigeria. After introducing the subject, I will expose the factors that would explain the success or the failure of implementing vaccination measures. Then I will briefly synthesize the context of these two African countries by putting an emphasis on the vulnerability induced by the conflicts. Finally, I will make a case study of health challenges and responses in relation to the factors exposed in the first section of the article.

Keywords: Vaccination, Conflict, Sierra Leone, Nigeria, Health challenges.
