Measles and rubella vaccine arrives in Kyrgyzstan to help stop measles outbreak


To help stop the spread of the measles virus in Kyrgyzstan, the country received 755 500 doses of measles and rubella vaccine from the Measles and Rubella Partnership. As a result of this donation, Kyrgyzstan’s Republican Center for Immunoprophylaxis started implementing a 2-week supplementary immunization campaign on 18 September 2023 in the cities of Bishkek and Osh, and surrounding regions. The vaccines will be administered at 750 temporary vaccination points set up at medical facilities and educational settings. In addition, 60 mobile teams will conduct on-site vaccination for children living in hard-to-reach settlements.
