Cameroon launched a measles vaccination campaign on December 4 along its northern border with Nigeria, after several dozen people—most of whom are children of former fighters fleeing Boko Haram terrorism—were found with measles at a demobilization center. During the weeklong campaign, 100 vaccination teams were deployed to villages around the border town of Meri, aiming to reach 67,000 children ages 6 months to 9 years. VOA
