Lack of measles vaccine in hospitals unacceptable

Globally, vaccinations are mandatory. They boost our bodies’ immunity systems against certain diseases. Vaccinations help in protecting children against measles, polio, chickenpox, tetanus, and diphtheria, among other diseases.

Vaccines are administered to babies once they are one-month-old and continue for several years; every one of them for a different disease. For that reason, the Ministry of Health is under obligation to ensure there is a steady and constant supply of requisite vaccines to all public hospitals across the country.
