Vaccination against tuberculosis is essential and is an integral part of the child’s vaccination schedule.
According to Fatimé Abakar Abdelkerim, head of the Expanded Vaccination Program (EPI), at the Diguel Est health center, tuberculosis is a contagious disease caused by the presence of the bacterium Mycobacterium tuberculosis, commonly known as Koch’s bacillus.
To fight this disease, it is crucial that children receive the BCG vaccine from birth. Fatimé Abakar Abdelkerim stresses that vaccination against tuberculosis must be renewed every ten years.
Once children have received the necessary doses, they develop immunity against this disease. She insists on the vital importance of this vaccine for the health of children.
In conclusion, she urges all parents to have their children vaccinated from birth against this infectious disease, as it can endanger their lives.
