JULY 13 — Imagine there’s no vaccines


It’s easy if you try


No protection for our children 


Above us only infections


Imagine all the children


Living in disease...

Aha-ah...

Imagine there’s no measles jabs


It isn’t hard to do


Nothing to protect us,  we can only die


And no diphtheria protection, too


Imagine all the children


Living in disease...

You...

You may say I’m a dreamer wanting immunisation 


But I’m not the only one


I hope someday you’ll join us


And all children will be protected as one

Imagine no diseases


I wonder if you can


No need for death or disability 


Vaccines for all mankind


Imagine all the children


Living life to the full....

You...

You may say I’m a dreamer wanting immunisation 


But I’m not the only one


I hope someday you’ll join us


And all children will be protected as one

With special thanks and the utmost respects to John Lennon for the beautiful original version.

Dedicated to the hundreds of thousands of Malaysian children who did not die or get disabled because vaccines protected them and the community.
