Vaccination of children: When a little child sees the world for the first time in his mother’s lap, the beginning of his life is full of hopes and possibilities. Parents dream that their child should be healthy, some should grow up. But imagine, if the life of this innocent is also deprived of the basic security shields that can protect it from life -threatening diseases. So can we imagine a safe and sensitive society? Vaccination is not just a health process, but the first shield of the future of children. It is sad that till the year 2023, there were 1.57 crore children around the world who could not even get life -saving vaccines and the shocking thing is that 14 lakh innocent people are also included.
