Lesotho ran an anti-measles vaccination effort April 17-21, targeting 114,000 children under age 10. The effort came amid a South African outbreak affecting hundreds and followed four recent cases in Lesotho’s Maseru district. Taking place in public clinics, the campaign was integrated with vitamin A supplementation. A similar effort last year reached only 33 percent of the target population, but officials hoped for 90 percent coverage this time. Informative; Maseru MoH
