The Malawi typhoid campaign starts today! Over the weekend the Chikwawa District EPI team waded the vaccine where it needed to get, and slept the night with the supplies & vehicle to keep it all safe. #Vaccine heroes doesn't even begin to describe them. Respect! Take on Typhoid

I had measles at 14yrs in boarding school in Ghana. I only had 1 infant MMR; 2 MMRs are now required for all kids. I was quite ill, but 1 MMR & being an older kid helped me recover fully. Measles is so contagious that ~90% of nonimmune people will get it if exposed. 9 OUT OF 10.
