Burkina Faso conducted a nationwide measles-rubella vaccination campaign March 15-21, targeting over 3.4 million children ages 9-59 months in 170 health districts. The effort came in response to a growing nationwide measles outbreak with more than 3,000 suspected cases in 2024 to date. In Ioba province’s Dano health district, officials hoped to vaccinate at least 44,150 children at health facilities, nursery schools and kindergartens, markets, and places of worship.
