An Abundance of Vaccinations

ak. Today was a busy day for vaccinations. The hospital generally has specified vaccination days each month, but sometimes patients present even when it is not a vaccination day, as several did today! Most were between the ages of 5 and 12, with some older and some younger. The most common vaccinations are those that protect children against cholera and hepatitis, diseases that were common in the Kasambara-Thugunui area until the hospital began offering its services in 2004.
