Sad but reality: Sixth child with pneumococcal infection

Just earlier this week we reported two young children (aged three and five) died from this crazy bug and urged any parents out there to give their kids booster shots as previous vaccines were ineffective.

Yet, the RTHK reports a sixth child infected with pneumococcal infection. The five-year-old girl is currently being cared for at the Queen Mary Hospital.
