November 2010, Vaccine Network for Disease Control Partnered with Johns Hopkins International Vaccine Access Centre. We Organized a Journalistic Advocacy on the introduction of Pneumonia Vaccine as an Intervention to decrease child mortality. The theme of the event was “Immunization as a tool to reach MDG4”.Awareness was created on the need for the government to introduce the pneumonia vaccine in the immunization process for children bearing in mind the deadliness of the disease.
In attendance were representatives for various newspaper houses like Thisday, Daily Trust, Vanguard, The National and Daily Independent.
