Abstract Children are the future of any country so their development is as significant as the development of other assets. Immunization is a vital part for the proper development of the children. Immunization is an easy, secure and efficient process of protecting individuals against the world’s most infectious diseases by administering vaccines. Immunization reduces the spreading of diseases thus protects the society from harmful diseases. Immunization plays an essential role in the children’s lives as a preventive health action because it protects them from most dangerous childhood diseases.(1) The benefits of vaccines in general go beyond health, and include economic, educational, health security and other benefits.(2) Immunization process will become more successful if the child receives full course of recommended immunization doses. According to World Health Organization (WHO), Immunization currently averts an estimated 2 to 3 million deaths every year but an estimated 18.7 million infants worldwide are still missing out on basic vaccines.(3) Around the world, The United Nations International Children’s Emergency Fund (UNICEF) and its partners like WHO, Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunization (GAVI), the US Centers for Disease Control (CDC), the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and others including numerous non-governmental organizations jointly act to ensure that vaccines protect all children, especially those hardest to reach and most in need.(4). |
