All of us know about the epidemics and their fatal affects. The more known epidemics are chicken pox, measles, plague etc. The chicken pox and Measles are mostly seen in kids that's why in many countries kids are injected vaccines against such type of dangerous diseases. In Pakistan, the vaccines are available for all infants and kids at national level, but, one of Pakistani province Punjab is now victim of measles. The innocent kids are dying with measles on daily bases. Today, two kids are died with measles in Punjab. The parents are really embarrassed about the measles.It is a horrible situation for parents having little kids. Not only kids but, elders are also hit by this dangerous disease. My own sister in law suffered from measles a month ago. The elders can survive but the kids are weak creature therefore they are dying.
The Punjab Health minister Salima Hashmi has announced that a campaign against measles would be launched next month. It would cover 30.3 millions kids aged between nine months to ten years.
Now, what's up in next months. Many parents are injecting additional vaccines on their own behalf. But many many kids are deprived of vaccines. The measles is preventable by vaccines, but, it can break and spread more speedily, if the entire population is not vaccinated. Now the matter is why whole population is not vaccinated. There can be shortage of vaccines or ignorance of people who hide their kids at the time of vaccine because they think the vaccine are dangerous for their kids. I observe some people are afraid of fever after vaccines. All of these thoughts are because of lack of awareness and ignorance. Therefore the programs about the awareness of vaccines are also necessary besides the vaccines.These programs must be held in low educated and backward areas.
