Western Cape Health Department rolls out Prevenar 13 vaccine campaign

We closed off the show with an interview with Angelique Jordaan - Communications officer for the Western Cape Department of Health. She will be informing us about their four month campaign to ensure that all children between 18 months and three years old as well as high risk children under six receive the best possible protection from Pneumoccocal diseases such as meningitis and pneumonia, in the form of the Prevenar 13 vaccine. The illness kills approximately 1 million children under the age of five annually. For further information you can contact (021) 483 3563.
