Local Anti-Vaxxers Hard at work

Lately there was a 2 year old who died of diphtheria infection and another child in the family was infected

Now why do parents allow their infants and children to be exposed to such vaccine preventable dieass by not having them vaccinated.

Childhood vaccines are given free to infants and children in Malaysia under the National Immunisation Programme. This programme has been promoted all the time and more so after 2016 when the MOH discovered that there were groups of anti-vaxxers. They are ones influenced by family members, community members and the internet to not have their infants and children vaccinated against vaccine preventable diseases. Anti-vaxxers are said to be on the rise and they are not limited to the rural folks.
