Buseesa medical Centre III has conducted measles Rubella.campaign to the community around Buseesa medical Centre III.
This exercise took place on 29th .October for the children between 2 months – 5 years. This campaign was meant to fight against measles Lubera as it was clearly mentioned by Tumusiime Martin in charge before the exercise began.
“He said that the vaccine does not have any side effect to the children” and he also said that Because of advances in medical science, your child can be protected against more diseases than ever before. Some diseases that once injured or killed thousands of children have been eliminated completely, and others are close to extinction – primarily due to safe and effective vaccines have reduced and, in some cases, eliminated many diseases that killed or severely disabled people just a few generations ago.
For example, smallpox vaccination eradicated that disease worldwide.he also said to parents that the children don’t have to get smallpox shots anymore because the disease no longer exists. By vaccinating children against rubella , the risk that pregnant women will pass this virus on to their fetus or newborn has been dramatically decreased, and birth defects associated with that virus no longer are existing and he said that they also have routine vaccinating of other diseases like
- Polio melisis.
- Tetanus.
- Flu (Influenza)
- Hepatitis B.
- Measles since the government also needs the health people as the ministry of health directed.
