Nicaragua recently began a routine immunization program to prevent the deadliest forms of pneumonia only a year after the vaccine was introduced in the developing world.
International global health leaders celebrated with the Nicaraguan government over the release of the new pneumococcal conjugate vaccine, according to GAVIAlliance.org. The event marked the beginning of a routine immunization program for several of the world’s poorest countries.
