Hepatitis B Vaccination in the City

I have been seeing a lot of banners around our city stating that they offer Hepa B vaccination services, but yes, for a fee.

Vaccination for hepatitis B is like around PhP 1,500 (US$1= PhP 43 something). If you are an average worker earning minimum (PhP 250.00), you definitely will not be able to take advantage of the vaccination program and will just leave everything to faith.LOL.
Well, I mean, no wonder diseases around infest the poor. I mean, they do not have an immediate access to medicines and vaccinations due to the fact that they cannot afford it. They would rather buy themselves food instead of buying them a vaccine that confer them the needed protection against vaccine-preventable life-threatening diseases like Hepatitis B.

Well, I would not want to believe that life is unfair and people are not created equal but I am hoping that governments around the globe will include free adult immunization program as part of their health programs for the masses - at least just on the basic-health services.
