Ghana to launch two vaccines at once

ON April 26, Ghana plans to launch two new vaccines at once. One will protect chidlren against pneumonia and the other against severe infant diarrhoea - the two biggest killers of Ghanaian children.

The vaccines are being introduced during World Immunisation Week by the Ministry of Health with support from the GAVI Alliance and its partners UNICEF, WHO and many generous donors, including governments and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
