Prevent diseases by immunisation
In today’s show, we spoke to Sylvia Mguga – Klipfontein Health Promotion Officer. We were focusing on the importance of Immunisation. The public is urged to help ensure that all children are immunised against childhood vaccine preventable diseases. In South Africa, children are routinely immunised against the following diseases: Tuberculosis, Diphtheria, Tetanus, Pertussis (whooping cough), Polio, Measles, Haemophilus influenza type b (Hib) and Hepatitis B. Childhood immunisation is provided free of charge at all public health facilities. For more information contact her on (021) 633 2010, 083 392 3373 or send a fax to (021) 633 2050.
