The nationwide measles vaccination campaign is continuing, with parents in the Kunene Region urged to vaccinate the children against the highly contagious disease. 

The campaign began on the 9th of November and runs until the 18th.

A health official Krodula Immanuel explained the dangers of measles and the importance of vaccination.

Immanuel called on guardians to take children aged six months to 10 years to the nearest mobile or fixed vaccination points across the region.

A parent, Valencia Tjimuhiva responded to the call.

“I am at the Opuwo District Hospital, bringing my child to be vaccinated for measles. To all parents, please let us bring our children to get the vaccine.”
