MRVC: Coverage crosses 93%

Dimapur, Nov. 9 (EMN): The measles-rubella vaccination campaign in Nagaland has immunised 4,19,460 children through 2,988 school and 2,332 outreach sessions. According to an update from the state’s Health department the total coverage now stands at 93.52% even as the department is hopeful of attaining 100% coverage ‘in the next few days.’ “MR vaccine is still available at all government health facilities (district hospital, CHC, PHC and sub-centres) for children between 9 months to 15 years who has missed MR vaccination at school or outreach sessions due to various reasons. Parents are therefore requested to visit the nearest health facility at the earliest to get your children vaccinated,” it stated.
