Bangladesh measles outbreak is ‘wake-up call’ to countries about vaccines: UNICEF rep
An emergency measles and rubella vaccination campaign is underway in Bangladesh amid a far-spreading measles outbreak. According to estimates, more than 8,000 people have been infected nationwide, leading to about 100 suspected deaths – mostly children. Measles is one of the world’s most contagious diseases and is transmitted when a person coughs or sneezes.
