In connection with the tense situation concerning measles incidence, an additional mopping up immunization campaign will be held in April in Kyrgyzstan. Deputy Minister of Health Bubuzhan Arykbaeva told at a briefing.
According to her, this is the most effective method of combating measles.
Currently, information and explanatory work is being carried out among the population so that parents make the right decision.
Until we increase vaccination coverage to 95 percent, measles will not stop in our country.
