Nigerian actress and movie producer, Ruth Kadiri, has taken to social media to express her worry about the apparent lack of vaccines available in some government hospitals.
She said on her Instagram page that the hospital’s nurse had told her that immunizations for infants were not available.
Her concerns were about whether other mothers were having the same difficulties, so she spoke out and urged the federal government to take action, stressing how important vaccinations are for her daughter and other kids.
In her post, she specifically mentioned the importance of MMR (Measles, Mumps, and Rubella), Varicella (Chickenpox), and Cholera vaccinations for her daughter, who appears to be over one year old.
Why this matters

“My nurse just told me that there are no immunizations for babies in the hospital!!! Mothers, are you experiencing the same vaccine issues? Please look into this. My daughter needs immunizations. One year and counting. MMR Varicella. Cholera vaccines.”
