HEALTH FOCUS: Second rubella shot for one and half year olds introduced
Ministry of Health is introducing a second measles-rubella shot for children aged 1 and a half years to the vaccination schedule in an effort to eliminate the disease. According to the ministry, Uganda has no current outbreak but the pockets of unvaccinated children over three years pose a risk. Health experts from various countries including Kenya, Ethiopia and Uganda are gathered here in Kampala to share experiences on the introduction of the dose.
