At only eight weeks old, Sasha’s future just got a little brighter. A pre-paid Rotavirus Vaccine, offered at Tumutumu Hospital in Kenya, significantly lowers Sasha’s risk of illness and death from the diarrheal ailments caused by rotaviruses. These highly contagious and resistant diseases claim an estimated 453,000 lives among infants and young children around the globe, per year. Most of these victims are in developing countries, and another two million are hospitalized regardless of water quality or sanitization available to them. That is why the World Health Organization has recommended this vaccine for all children.
