KOTA KINABALU, July 12 — All the children in Sabah, including stateless children must have access to immunisation.

Dr Christina said that this was to do with herd immunity and urged the people to understand what this meant. “But when there are a lot of people who are immunised, they provide protection for the rest of the group,” she said. “The numbers are going down which is ridiculous. In 2015, people had to pay for service so a lot didn’t come anymore,” she said.

“This is a reminder how we have failed to protect the children. We think that the children affected are the children of undocumented population. This is our child. And the herd immunity I mentioned is to protect every child regardless of statelessness. For the rest of his life, he will use the trachea , for the rest of his life he won’t be able to walk.”
