Pakistan’s Punjab province ran an anti-measles initiative in 10 districts June 19-24, aiming to immunize over 1.5 million children ages 6 months to 5 years. In certain areas, children were also administered polio vaccines and vitamin A drops, as well as measles and rubella vaccines. The campaign is responding to a Rawalpindi outbreak that reportedly caused eight children’s deaths in April. Dawn; The Express Tribune
