On September 16, the Department of Health Immunization Program, in partnership with the Department of Education, will be visiting schools to make sure that immunization shots of students are up to date.
Program Manager Yolanda Masunu says children who are behind on their shots, will be referred to community health centers. She advises parents to make sure their children’s shots are up to date, so that they are not sent home.
Masunu also advises that children must be current with their immunization shots in order to be accepted at daycare centers. The Immunization Program is setting aside two days a week to issue clearances for children going to daycare centers.
