UNICEF Encourages Parents in Lubumbashi to Vaccinate Their Children

联合国儿童基金会鼓励卢本巴希的家长为孩子接种疫苗

Lubumbashi, Haut-Katanga, Democratic Republic of Congo - On Friday, April 26, 2023, four young UNICEF reporters urged parents in Lubumbashi to bring their children up-to-date on their immunization schedules. This appeal was made in conjunction with the ongoing vaccination week campaign.

刚果民主共和国上加丹加省卢本巴希 - 2023 年 4 月 26 日星期五，四名年轻的联合国儿童基金会记者敦促卢本巴希的家长让孩子们了解最新的免疫接种计划。这一呼吁是与正在进行的疫苗接种周活动同时发出的。

The young reporters visited the Mampala 1 health zone within the Mubunda health zone in Lubumbashi. One of the parents in this community, Esther Balenga, explained why her children had not yet received their vaccinations: "Only two of my children have not been vaccinated. The boy is two years old, and the girl is one year and six months old. We were always traveling, and there was nowhere I could get all of my children vaccinated."

年轻记者们参观了卢本巴希穆本达卫生区内的曼帕拉1号卫生区。该社区的一位家长埃丝特·巴伦加(Esther Balenga)解释了为什么她的孩子还没有接种疫苗：“我的孩子只有两个没有接种疫苗。男孩两岁，女孩一岁零六个月我们总是在旅行，没有地方可以让我所有的孩子接种疫苗。”

Lydie Mbuyi, a nurse at the Mubunda 2 health center, implored parents to bring their children in for vaccinations: "I urge mothers to bring their children to the health centers so they can be vaccinated. Vaccination is an act of love. We are here and ready to receive them."

Mubunda 2 卫生中心的护士 Lydie Mbuyi 恳求家长带孩子去卫生中心接种疫苗：“我敦促母亲们带孩子去卫生中心，以便他们能够接种疫苗。疫苗接种是一种爱的行为。我们在这里并准备好接收他们。”

Katanga Musau, a UNICEF child reporter, emphasized the importance of fathers being involved in their children's vaccination schedules: "I urge men to accompany their wives to the hospital for vaccinations. It is vital for the child's health and well-being. When men monitor their children's development, they can identify any deficiencies or issues. Women may sometimes be more neglectful, as we have observed in the field. However, if men are involved, the child will be taken more seriously."

联合国儿童基金会儿童记者加丹加·穆绍（Katanga Musau）强调了父亲参与孩子疫苗接种计划的重要性：“我敦促男人陪妻子去医院接种疫苗。这对孩子的健康和福祉至关重要。当男人监督时正如我们在该领域观察到的那样，女性有时可能会更加忽视孩子的成长，但如果男性参与其中，孩子就会受到更认真的对待。”

The vaccination week campaign concludes on Sunday, April 28, 2023.

疫苗接种周活动将于 2023 年 4 月 28 日星期日结束。
