Measles Outbreak in Zambia: This Week at Villages of Hope

National Measles Immunization Day in Zambia

Zambia experienced an outbreak of Measles this week, so the government ordered that every child aged 6 months to 15 years be vaccinated. VOH-Chongwe was very thankful that the local hospital came and vaccinated all of the children at the Village!

Here is Baby Isaiah from the childrens’ home receiving in VOH-Chongwe getting his Measles Vaccination. Isaiah is being held by Ivy –  the co-ordinator of the house mother at the Save A Life Centre.

Isaiah didn’t cry and was very happy with his big candy he got after the injection. All the children in the home and all 200 children in the school received their Measles Vacinations and deworming tablets. In addition, all children under 5 received Vitamin A supplements.
