Bangladesh launches measles vaccination drive amid deadly outbreak

Bangladesh has initiated a month-long measles vaccination campaign targeting children aged 6-59 months who missed earlier immunizations, lowering the minimum age from 9 months due to the outbreak. The move signals an escalation in response to a deadly outbreak, though the scale and case fatality remain unspecified. This is a public-health emergency response with potential regional implications for measles control.
