vaccination campaign

Child vaccinations are crucial in preventing approximately 2 million deaths every year worldwide. Successful vaccination campaigns in Africa have helped eradicate the poliovirus in 47 countries, which used to cause paralysis in 75,000 African children annually. Direct Aid conducts vaccination campaigns periodically in impoverished areas across different African countries to immunize children against epidemics and infectious diseases, and to ensure adherence to vaccination schedules. They also conduct awareness campaigns to encourage mothers to vaccinate their children and protect them from illnesses while strengthening their immunity. It is important to remain vigilant against the re-emergence of viruses like poliovirus through continuous preventive vaccination campaigns and ongoing awareness efforts.
