Pentavalent will be back

Pentavalent Vaccine, initally started in September 2009 and suspended till date due to reports of adverse events, will be back to the immunisation schedule begining June 10 this year. The adverse events were investigated thoroughly and concluded that pentavalent is not the cause of those adverse effects.

Health workers under Mongar Dzongkhag are attending a two day workshop, which ended today, to the same effect.  It was mainly to improve communications to the general public regarding the re-introduction.
