The Chattogram City Corporation (CCC) has announced a month-long measles and rubella vaccination campaign targeting 300,000 children aged six to 59 months. The campaign will begin on April 20 and continue until May 20 across health centers and hospitals in the city. Mayor Dr. Shahadat Hossain shared the details at a press conference held at the CCC Library Building near Laldighi, emphasizing the public health importance of protecting children from highly contagious diseases like measles.
To implement the program, the city’s 41 wards have been divided into seven zones, with vaccination running daily from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. The CCC has formed 48 permanent and 205 temporary teams, along with 41 mop-up and 41 evening teams to reach missed children. Online registration using a 17-digit birth certificate is encouraged, but no child will be denied vaccination for lack of registration. Special focus will be placed on slum and high-risk areas.
The campaign is being conducted with support from the Directorate General of Health Services, UNICEF, and the World Health Organization. Mayor Hossain urged journalists, teachers, and community leaders to help ensure the success of the initiative.
