India’s National Capital Territory of Delhi has extended its monthlong measles-rubella vaccination drive by two weeks in all 11 districts. As of March 4, some 993,332 of the targeted 1.1 million children ages 9 months to 5 years were administered the MR vaccine door to door and in camps, government dispensaries, government hospitals and select private hospitals. The extension seeks to reach the remaining unvaccinated children in hopes of eradicating the two diseases from Delhi by year-end. Hindustan Times (1); Hindustan Times (2); Hindustan Times (3)
