In recent times, implementing the Prime Minister's direction in Official Dispatch No. 23/CD-TTg dated March 25, 2025 on accelerating measles vaccination, the Ministry of Health has actively and synchronously deployed solutions to accelerate the progress of the measles vaccination campaign. The Ministry of Health has also proactively mobilized resources to ensure adequate and timely supply of measles vaccines to provinces and cities across the country.

Provinces and cities have urgently deployed activities to screen subjects, propagate and mobilize parents and guardians to take their children for vaccination, and organize flexible vaccination forms suitable to the characteristics of each region and area, including vaccination on holidays (Saturday, Sunday) or vaccination in the evening./.
