This baby doesn't know it now but it just received one of the biggest gifts available to children throughout the world -- vaccinations. Josephine, the Wasaidizi health worker supervisor in DR Congo, was recently trained by the government and appointed as an immunization coordinator in her area of Lubumbashi. She said she was chosen because of her long volunteer service to HealthEd Connect.
We're making huge strides in vaccinations throughout the world.
According to WHO:
During 2016, about 86% of infants worldwide (116.5 million infants) received 3 doses of diphtheria-tetanus-pertussis (DTP3) vaccine, protecting them against infectious diseases that can cause serious illness and disability or be fatal. By 2016, 130 countries had reached at least 90% coverage of DTP3 vaccine.
