National ‘call to action’ needed to prevent spread of measles - health chief

The World Health Organization (WHO) aims for a 95% vaccination coverage rate to achieve measles elimination. Although this goal was previously met, current vaccination rates have dropped to around 85% nationally, with some areas as low as 70%. This decline is attributed to reduced social interactions during COVID-19, posing a risk to maintaining safe population coverage.
