Though the benefits of immunisation for children cannot be overemphasized, Zainab was oblivious of the need to put premium on her health and that of her daughter. She had to Ibadan from Anchau in Katsina State when she was two months pregnant but returned home to deliver her baby. She was taken with the child to the primary health care, at Ojoo, Ibadan.
