Nong Samor Health Promotion Hospital in east Pattaya offered early childhood vaccines to protect babies and kids against 10 diseases.

Volunteers and nurses provided the initial and booster jabs to children ages six months to six years Sept. 9 to immunize them against tuberculosis, diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, polio, measles, rubella, mumps, hepatitis b, and encephalitis.



The Bacillus Calmette-Guerin shot, diphtheria, tetanus and pertussis vaccines and poliomyelitis vaccines were administered to infants under a year old, while boosters were given to kids as old as six.
