Vaccination and check-up for the babies

rs. Today we had our children's day. Luckily the rain stopped so that the mothers could descend from the mountain without problems. The waiting room was full. Many came for vaccinations. We can use one bottle of vaccination medicine for five babies, but we cannot keep the medicine a long time outside the cooler. That's why we invite them all at the same time. We also medically checked the small ones. Our laboratory assistant Caroline helped fill the registration cards, because we have to report to the MOH (Ministry of Health) monthly. There is also a statistic about the current diseases in Kenya.
