A baby is sleeping in his mother's arms at the El Mina Mother and Child Health Centre, waiting for her vaccination during the 9th edition of the African Immunisation Week.
Vaccinations are critical for protecting children against fatal yet preventable diseases such as tuberculosis. To fight against one of the most deadly diseases in the world, UNICEF is working hard with organisations such as the Mauritanian government and WHO to support such programs and make sure every child is vaccinated and protected.
