15 children die in botched South Sudan vaccine campaign
Source: CBS News
JUBA, South Sudan -- Fifteen young children have died in a botched measles vaccination campaign that saw people as young as 12 years old administering the vaccines, South Sudan's government announced Friday.
The United Nations said the children died of "severe sepsis/toxicity" from the contaminated vaccine, and the health ministry blamed the deaths on human error. One syringe was used for all the children during the four-day campaign, and the vaccine was stored without refrigeration the entire time.
The government said all of the children who died were under the age of 5. It is setting up a commission to determine who is responsible and whether victims' families will be compensated.
The children died in the rural town of Kapoeta in early May. Another 32 children suffered fever, vomiting and diarrhea but recovered, a joint statement by the World Health Organization and the U.N. children's agency UNICEF said.

and shows why so many in the rural areas of that continent run away when someone brings vaccines that can help.

I can just see the anti-vaxxer I know quoting the mortality rate entirely out of context, so I am glad you posted this here where I could read what really happened.
