  • 30 Jul 2020 in National Assembly: There is also the issue of enumerate cohorts of children who may have missed their vaccine doses. The Ministry will develop an action plan to catch up with vaccination. There is also the issue of observing septic techniques during the immunisation sessions and perform hand hygiene with alcohol-based hand rub before and after all patient contact with potentially infectious material. If the hands are visibly soiled, there is the use of soap and water. view
