Ivorian authorities are preparing to launch a national vaccination campaign from October 18 to 24. This campaign primarily targets children.

As of last February, Côte d’Ivoire had over 4,400 confirmed cases of measles. Health authorities are urging the population to mobilize for the success of this vaccination campaign against measles and rubella.

Christopher Atitso provides more details in this report based on notes from our correspondent in Abidjan, Albain ADE.
