GBA Kicks Off Measles-Rubella Vaccination Campaign for Young Children
The GBA has officially started a Measles-Rubella vaccination drive. This initiative focuses on infants and toddlers. Children up to five years old are the primary target group.
Urgent Call to Parents for Vaccination
Parents must act now if their children missed earlier vaccinations. The campaign specifically addresses delays in immunization schedules. Any child under five who has not received these vaccines needs immediate attention.
Health authorities emphasize the importance of this drive. Measles and Rubella pose serious health risks to young children. Vaccination provides essential protection against these diseases.
Steps for Parents to Ensure Vaccination
Parents should visit their nearest Primary Health Centre (PHC). They must ensure their children get the required vaccines. No child should be left unprotected due to previous delays.
The GBA's move comes as a proactive health measure. It aims to boost immunization coverage across the region. Early vaccination helps prevent outbreaks and safeguards community health.
Key Points for Families:- Children aged up to five years are eligible.
- Visit the closest PHC without delay.
- Ensure all required vaccines are administered.
- This campaign addresses past vaccination gaps.
Public health officials urge full participation. They stress that timely vaccination is critical for child safety. The GBA continues to monitor the campaign's progress closely.
