Immunization

Inadequate immunization coverage continues to hamper the health of the children of Africa and remains the cause of millions of preventable deaths. Routine immunization against Diphtheria, Tetanus, measles, whooping cough, polio and tuberculosis is perhaps one of the most cost effective interventions for reducing childhood illness and mortality, especially with the addition of other vaccines such as Cerebrospinal meningitis (CSM) and yellow fever in endemic and epidemic areas and Tetanus Toxoid (TT) injection for pregnant women. vAhmed Al-Naggar R, Bobryshev YV (2012) Practice of Skin Cancer Prevention among Young Malaysian.
