There was a mad rush for the childhood immunization vaccines against Polio, Measles, tuberculosis, yellow fever at Dome in Greater Accra Region when Kabaka Foundation sponsored a special health promotion, child health and mothers screening program in collaboration with Ga East municipal Health Directorate.
Hundreds of mothers thronged the Auntie Mary CHPs Compound where the exercise was held to vaccinate their children and take part in the health screening services.
“We thank them for bringing us the vaccines .my child missed out many of the vaccines because of the shortage. The temperature of my child always go high.so we are appealing to government to ensure that the vaccines are always available” a mother said.
Many parents and clinicians were concerned about the widespread scarcity of childhood vaccinations against Polio, Measles, Tuberculosis, and Yellow Fever.
Measles then sprang out, infecting over 120 children, which caused greater concern among health sector stakeholders.
On March 11, 2023, the Ministry of Health stated that it had purchased the first batch of oral vaccinations for measles, BCG, and other diseases to be given to eligible children at various health facilities.
