Eehh, what offense?

Only about 80% of Kenyan children (2 years old and below) are fully immunised as per KEPI.

Most of the mothers who deliver at home do not take their children for immunisation.

And if this is the case, how do you compare the two children?

Infact let me pose a question to the recent Yellow-fever vaccine 'recruits'.. I'm one of them. Noticed any change?

We are still facing polio, recently there has been cases of wild polio virus in Daadab refugee camp hence the on going polio immunization. And the problem is not likely to go away soon because immunization coverage in Somalia is very low (If my brother is in trouble so am I)

A child gets a flu vaccine under the 9 recommended vaccine shots between 0 - 9 months. There is one called the Pentavalent vaccine which is given in 3 doses. At 4 weeks, 6 weeks and I think 3 months. it is called the pentavalent vaccine because it is a vaccine against 5 diseases and Influenza is one of them.

I also believe the best vaccine and medicine for flu is natural methods. Fill your child with oranges, fruits, lots of vegetables and water. Literary, an apple a day keeps the doctor away.

The necessary vaccines as outlined by the Ministry of health are very important and must be given to every child.

Plus building the child's immunity is far much better.

The other problem is the preservatives. Can have adverse effects on the child in the long term.
