• 2,949 measles cases and 18 deaths have been reported between January 2024 and February 2025.
• Adan Duale, Health Cabinet Secretary, emphasizes the importance of vaccination in preventing disease.
• Children aged 9 to 59 months will receive the Measles-Rubella vaccine, and those up to 14 years will receive the Typhoid Conjugate Vaccine, aiming for 95% MR coverage and 80% TCV coverage.
