Director of Health Services Dr. Opolot John was
in the studio with Lion Dr Opio and the District Khadi Haruna Emuge.
The public followed the talk show asking questions about
the reasons for vaccination, the history of vaccination in the world and the
likely consequences of not vaccinating children. A question was asked about
the age bracket for vaccination and if older people can get vaccinated too.
All the above were ably explained by the panelists. The district Khadi gave
the religious perspective to vaccination and the importance of children to the
family and communities .
