Injections are one of the most common health-care procedures. Five to ten percent of some 16 billion injections administered worldwide each year are given for immunization.

As most of us already know, unsafe injections, repeated use of one syringe and/or unsafe practices in relation to immunization are not only responsible for cases of hepatitis B and C, HIV, and other serious and potentially lethal side effects suffered by vaccine recipients, but may also pose an occupational hazard to health providers and an environmental hazard to communities. Furthermore, unsafe injection practices can seriously impede the progress made by immunization programmes, and have a substantial effect on global immunization coverage.

As simple as the title says; with some friends on social media, we’re trying to campaign for the awareness of Safe Injections for Pakistan. If you could, kindly strengthen our cause just by joining in. Aslo consider inviting your friends too, by doing this you would be of great help by being a lightening source to get the message to masses.

Join the cause, here: http://bit.ly/SafePk and also share this article with your friends, family and colleagues.

Thank you for your time, and support

Regards.
