The Ajloon region in Jordan received a shipment of 15,000 pneumococcal 7-valent conjugate vaccine doses, as a donation from Wyeth Pharmaceuticals in order to help boost Jordan’s efforts to combat pneumococcal disease.
Ajloon was selected by The Ministry of Health being an isolated area where all 5000 children living there will be vaccinated against life threatening diseases like meningitis, bactaeremia and septicaemia.
