Vaccination is a fundamental pillar of the health system of every country, according to the World Health Organization (WHO), since it prevents up to three million deaths a year with its implementation.

RPP Noticias says that vaccination saves millions of lives and it is a practice that has been recognized around the world as the safest and best-performing public health intervention.

For these reasons, and adding that it is also cost-effective, children in Peru are mandated to get vaccines during their first four years of life.

The main objectives of vaccination “are the control, elimination, and eradication of diseases preventable by vaccines. Due to the importance of vaccination and its impact on the health of our population, the Peruvian State, through the Ministry of Health, guarantees the provision of vaccines in order to comply with the National Vaccination Scheme”, you can read in RPP Noticias.
