Measles is a highly contagious disease, but it is preventable through timely vaccination.
On National Vaccination Day (16 March), we highlight the importance of measles immunization in protecting children and communities from preventable outbreaks. Strengthening vaccination coverage is key to building a healthier and disease-free future.
Vaccinate on time. Protect every child.
