Measles is deadly but preventable by vaccination. Every child needs two doses of the Measles Vaccine; the 1st dose at 9 months and 2nd dose at 18 months.

This October, from 1st to 5th, the Ministry of Health is conducting a nationwide Measles vaccination campaign targeting all children aged 9 months to 5 years old.

Ensure your child gets vaccinated to protect them from Measles and its deadly consequences.

Uganda Unveils State-of-the-Art Polio Genomics Facility

Dr. Kasonde Mwinga - @WHOUganda Country Representative to Uganda: This is more than a structure; it's a beacon of scientific excellence, and it's a promise that no child should suffer to wait in fear because services are delayed.

At the National Immunization Symposium this afternoon, I underscored five priorities to strengthen Uganda’s immunization programme: defining sustainable financing needs with measurable milestones; mobilizing public and private sector partners to expand investment; improving efficiency, accountability and value for money; empowering leaders at all levels to champion immunization; and deepening community engagement to ensure every eligible child is reached.

Immunization is a shared responsibility. Together, we can build a healthier, more productive Uganda by ensuring equitable access to life-course immunization for all.

[Dr Charles Ayume @DrAyumeCharles]

Today I launched the National Immunization Symposium. Uganda's immunization package now has 14 antigens compared to 6 more that 30 years ago. Immunization remains the biggest and most effective public health intervention for disease prevention.

Such a young life cut short, irrespective of the circumstances.

Mental health issues likely at play.
