Nigeria has launched one of the largest vaccination campaigns in its history, aiming to protect 106 million children against measles, rubella and polio.
A significant health victory has been achieved as 21 Pacific island countries have eliminated both measles and rubella, and Japan has now officially eliminated rubella as well.
The second round of vaccination for Syrian children is ready for implementation through fixed sites and mobile teams across selected areas, helping millions of children have stronger health and a better quality of life.
A worldwide measles increase has led social media companies to actively work towards helping the World Health Organization prevent the spread of false information about vaccines.
