By Zoila Palma Gonzalez: On July 15, 2024, the Ministry of Health & Wellness received 50,000 doses of the Pediatric Pneumococcal Vaccine (PCV) donated by the Government of Brazil.
The handing over ceremony was held in Belmopan.
The PCV vaccine will prevent pneumonia, meningitis and other complications caused by pneumococcal disease in children under five years of age.
The Ministry noted that Vaccinated children will benefit from less hospital visits and less hospital stay (Hospitalization); their growth and development will not be compromised due to pneumococcal infection.
The Ministry of Health & Wellness extended gratitude and appreciation to the Government and Ambassador of Brazil for the donation of the Pneumococcal Pediatric Vaccine, and encourages parents to get their children five years and under vaccinated.
The vaccine is available at all public health facilities and mobile clinics.
