Helping The Children Of The World, One Shot At A Time

Young Children From The Village Of Savora, Kenya

     Have you herd about Walgreen's newest promotion?  If you have not, then check this out, if you purchase a vaccination from their Healthcare Clinic between now and October 14th they will provide a life saving vaccine to a child in a developing nation.  How cool is that?  If you are like me and need to get that upcoming flu shot or plan on getting a Yellow Fever Booster for that next trip to the tropics, then you could help a child in need.  For those who don't know, only one in five children world wide have proper immunization from common childhood ailments like mumps, measles, rubella, and polio.  These disease are extremely deadly and are very common with kids.  Also, did you know that in Africa, over one million individuals die from malaria each year.  This is again a disease that could be easily treated with medication.  However, the access to these medications are limited and in desperate need in certain parts of the world.  So for a business like Walgreen's to go the extra mile in this era of corporate greed, is astonishing, and I would like to commend them on this magnificent promotion.  I  would also like to suggest that if you are planning to get a shot this fall, then at least consider getting it at your local Walgreen's and help a child in need.
