What every parents must know????!!!! Vaccines provide vital protection for our young ones. While many children in deprived rural areas don't get adequately vaccinated and immunized, many well-to-do urban parents want their children to take every available imported vaccine. Both situations are risky..

In some rural community in Nigeria especially in the moslem parts of northern nigeria, religious and cultural factors is responsible for their refusal to get their children vaccinated. Many northern nigerian women do not like to come in contact with a male due to their religious teachings which forbid another man that is not their husband to come near their residence. So i would say that it is not only the urban community that drain all the vaccines. In Nigeria, the rural community sometimes refuse to comply with getting their children vaccinated even though this vaccines has been made available for them.
