5.5 Million Children Vaccinated Against Measles-Rubella

In a nationwide vaccination campaign, over 5.5 million children in Uganda have received the measles-rubella vaccine. The campaign, which aims to protect children against measles and rubella, has seen a significant turnout in various regions. However, some schools in Wakiso and Soroti have reportedly resisted the vaccination exercise, citing concerns over the vaccine's safety. The campaign is crucial in preventing the spread of these diseases, which can have severe consequences, especially among young children.
