World Immunization Week 24-30 April
from Podcast2 Hosted by Channel Africa
Today marks the start of World Immunization Week, which aims to promote the use of vaccines to protect people of all ages against disease. The campaign this year comes at a very difficult time, as the globe battles to control the coronavirus pandemic, with no vaccine yet developed. Meanwhile, there are growing concerns over a neglect of other health issues that continue to threaten children, especially - as the world focuses attention on COVID-19.
