Public health specialists have hailed Liberia for recently introducing the Typhoid Conjugate Vaccine in its routine vaccination targeting more than 1 million children from 9 months to under 15 years.
The vaccine prevents typhoid fever.
The launch of the campaign started with the vaccination of eligible school kids at the Monrovia Christian Fellowship Center in Monrovia.
According to Dr. Kathleen Neuzil, the Director of the Center for Vaccine Development at the University of Maryland School of Medicine in the US, the vaccine is safe and has no major negative side effects.
