Rose Jatta pulls her boat into the estuary waters as she looks for fish traps she had set up earlier in the mangrove of the Gambia river in Serrekunda, Gambia, Saturday, September 25, 2021. As health officials in Gambia and across Africa urge women to be vaccinated, they've confronted hesitancy among those of childbearing age.

Jatta fears the vaccine against COVID-19 could make her ill, leaving her two children without food on the dinner table. (Photo by Leo Correa/AP Photo)
