In Zimbabwe, Children Are Dieing
Zimbabwe Measles Epedemic
Hearing that approximately 22 people have passed away due to the fact they never got a shot to prevent them from getting measles, is not acceptable.
The people who have perished are mostly young children under the age of 5.
They had not received a shot to prevent the disease. Their parents never got them to the clinic to get the shot.
There have been over 340 possible cases of measles in just Harare this year. People are not getting their children vaccinated and they could have.
Measles is a disease that can be prevented with the shot.
The fact children and adults are dieing of measles is very unacceptable.
