Malawi Health Equity Network (MEHN) is working with mother care groups in various districts in Malawi to encourage women to send their children for immunization and also to clear the misconceptions and myths in rural areas that immunization is evil.

The initiative follows countrywide concerns of such myths and misconceptions in most villages and MEHN also corroborates with traditional leaders to encourage people such as those that belong to the Zion Church to go for their children’s vaccine to save lives.
Most Zionists discourage their faithful as per their doctrines never to seek medical attention when they fall ill but just religiously pray and fast. They also believe that immunization is evil.
