Vaccinations still unpopular



rs. Today our hospital was again open for mothers with their children. During the last three weeks we realized that more mothers find the way to us. Some fear the costs, others do not see the importance of vaccinations as it is the case with a 13-year old girl who came to us and got her first vaccination. The girl told me that she came from Eldoret together with her mother. Her father and her small sister were killed. In the future we will try to inform the people even better about their rights in the health system.
