Immunisation Week kicks off in Thai Binh
Cam Van 10:11, 2014/04/28
The northern province of Thai Binh on April 26 launched a series of activities marking Immunisation Week, an initiative organised by the World Health Organisation - Western Pacific Region, from April 21-27.
Co-hosted by the Ministry of Public Health’s National Expanded Programme on Vaccination and the provincial Department of Public Health, the event will raise public awareness of the importance of vaccinations for shielding children from diseases during their first stage of life.
 

Supporters paraded with banners and inoculations were provided at a medical station in Hung Dao ward. 

At the event, Director of the ministry’s Department of Preventive Medicine Tran Dac Phu hailed the programme as one of the biggest success stories in the medical sector, benefiting hundreds of thousands of women and children. 

Vietnam has been recognised as a polio-free and tetanus-free country since 2000 and 2005, respectively. 

In 2010-2011, vaccines against diphtheria, whooping cough and hepatitis B were available free of charge. 

After the ceremony, hundreds of students and medical staff took to the streets and spread the week’s message “Stop hepatitis B and liver cancer. Vaccinate at birth” to the public.
