Klerksdorp Record, Klerksdorp - Parents/guardians are urged to visit their nearest health facility to ensure that their babies are fully immunized.
This request comes after the low turnout for the 0-12 month immunizations in the Dr KK district. The Chief Director: District Health Services, Philemon Maboe says parents need to know that immunizations are crucial for the overall health and development of babies.
“Immunization helps strengthen the baby’s immune system against different diseases, illnesses and fights against germs that could potentially harm the baby’s health and development,” he said.
This is especially concerning in light of the recent outbreaks of measles and rubella.
