RE: Who is responsible for vaccine safety?

in #science7 years ago

Here in Africa, you sometimes have no choice. Especially when a strange disease comes up and the vaccine is the only way out. And although the Polio vaccine has helped in almost eradicating polio from Nigeria, a lot of people prevented their kids from receiving the monkey pox vaccine due to general distrust of the government.

Sort:  

The polio vaccine is administred orally right?

Yeah. It's administered to infants and has really helped to curb the crippling disease.

Are you sure about that? There is a lot of manipulation going on esp. regarding vaccines.

About eradicating polio? Well, we cant be so sure of such things but there has been a noticeable drop in the numbers of children growing up with polio myelitis. I actually believe that the vaccines helped to achieve that.

That's great to hear!
