90 Lacs children to be treated with typhoid vaccine in Sindh

Doctors in Pakistan says that the new vaccine, which has been introduced to fight Typhoid, is working good and is becoming helpful to cure the almost incurable infection.

According to a report published in the New England Journal of Medicine, the number of cases of the disease spread through bacteria has reduced to 80% during the test of the new vaccine.

Antibiotics in Pakistan are almost less effective on Typhoid. Therefore, 90 lacs of children in Sindh are given the vaccine this time.

Experts have said that this vaccine has reversed the fight against typhoid and the number of deaths caused by Typhoid is likely to decrease through the use of this vaccine.

Extensive drug-resistant typhoid fever is common in Pakistan over a large scale.
