Zimbabwe Launches Child Immunization Campaign

Summary: Recently the Zimbabwean Ministry of Health has launched an effort to vaccinate five million children between six months and 15 years. This vaccine will help the children fight off the measles which has taken about 400 lives, and 7,000 cases of the disease have been recorded recently. In addition to measles vaccinations, the intensive campaign will also provide children with vital immunization against polio, diphtheria, pertussis and tetanus.
Opinion: I am glad that they are taking these steps to help protect the children against these horrific diseases. Although many are opposed to this, i think it is so great to prevent a child from having to go through all of the pain and stress from having such a terrible disease. It also will make Zimbabwe a much healthier place to live and a better place to be.
