Ha Tinh continues to inject 1,900 doses of measles vaccine for children

The Ha Tinh Department of Health has just issued a plan for the third measles vaccination campaign for children in the area. Accordingly, based on the measles epidemic situation in 2025 and the rate of missed measles vaccine doses in subjects who have not been vaccinated in previous campaigns.

To proactively implement activities to prevent, combat and control measles effectively and limit the damage caused by measles, ensuring people's health safety, in the third phase, Ha Tinh will conduct measles vaccination with 1,900 doses.

Ha Tinh will organize 1,900 measles vaccinations for children.

The vaccination target group is children 6 months of age or older who are not yet eligible for vaccination in the first and second vaccination campaigns in 2025 in areas at risk or where measles cases/epidemics are occurring. Children from 6 months to under 9 months of age who have not been vaccinated in the first and second vaccination campaigns in 2025 in areas at risk or where measles cases/epidemics are occurring.

The Department of Health requires localities to proactively conduct household surveys, make lists of children in communes, wards, and towns at risk at schools and in the community to avoid missing subjects, especially in areas with population fluctuations. The Provincial Center for Disease Control acts as a focal point to coordinate with localities to guide the methods of investigation and making lists of subjects. Based on the actual number of subjects of the units, make plans, receive and preserve vaccines and vaccination supplies at the provincial level. Coordinate vaccines between units to ensure that measles vaccines are used economically, effectively, and safely. Distribute solvents, vaccines, and vaccination supplies for the campaign immediately after receiving vaccines from the Central Institute of Hygiene and Epidemiology.

District health centers, based on reports on the number of subjects at the commune level in the area, make plans, receive vaccines and vaccination supplies at the Provincial Center for Disease Control, ensuring sufficient needs of localities. Carry out preservation and distribution to communes 1-2 days before vaccination or immediately before the vaccination session. Commune health stations screen children who have not received enough doses of measles-containing vaccines according to regulations, make plans, receive and use vaccines and vaccination supplies to ensure they are adequate and in accordance with regulations of the Ministry of Health .

Encourage vaccination facilities to provide leaflets with instructions on care, monitoring, and handling of adverse reactions after vaccination for vaccinated subjects and their families, and use social networks such as Zalo and Facebook to connect with vaccinated subjects, collect information to support timely handling of serious adverse events after vaccination.
