Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I was addressing the importance of immunization amongst our pregnant mothers. It is so serious because sometimes – Sen. Mshenga is here and she knows these things better than me – it is very frustrating after a mother has given birth to a bouncing baby only to realise that the child developed tetanus because the mother was never vaccinated. We urge all mothers to go for tetanus toxoid and Vitamins A vaccinations. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only.
