jpnn.com, JAKARTA – Communication for Development Specialist UNICEF Indonesia Rizky Ika Syafitri said immunization is the right of all children and the government has also provided related facilities for free.
“The government’s commitment is extraordinary for this immunization program. This is the right of (children) and please use it, ”he said in the KPCPEN Webinar with the theme of Find Out About Vaccines, which was held on Friday (2/10).
At times like this, maybe there are some parents who are still doubtful and worried about immunizing their children. In fact, vaccination is a child’s right.
According to Rizky, there are many diseases out there that can be prevented through immunization.
Vaccines are available and free.
“Make sure children still get immunization during a pandemic. Don’t get double the plague. It could be because immunization coverage has decreased, people do not immunize their children, “he said.
Rizky said, when parents are absent from giving immunizations to their children, the children are susceptible to contracting a number of diseases such as diphtheria, polio and measles.
These diseases can cause pain, disability, and even death.
