Trans Mara East sub-county plans to vaccinate 56,774 children against typhoid and 18,920 against measles in a mass vaccination campaign.
Richard Rotich, the Sub-county Expanded Programme on Immunisation coordinator, confirmed that health teams have been trained and equipped to cover all 24 vaccination centres.
Preparations are complete for the campaign, which will run from July 4 to July 14, with collaboration from the Ministry of Health. "Typhoid is a serious public health threat, particularly for children under 15, especially those under five.
The increasing cases of antimicrobial resistance make this vaccine essential," Rotich stated, urging parents to ensure their children are vaccinated.
