(binhthuan.gov.vn) The People's Committee of Binh Thuan
Province has issued the implementation plan on measles vaccination campaign in
2025. This campaign aims to increase the rate of measles immunity in the
community, proactively prevent the disease, and reduce the incidence and
mortality rates caused by measles, especially in high-risk areas and regions experiencing
measles cases or outbreaks.
The plan sets a target of vaccinating 95% of eligible
children who have not been vaccinated or have not received the full dose of
measles-containing vaccine according to regulations in high-risk areas or areas
with ongoing measles cases or outbreaks. The vaccination process will be
carried out safely, effectively, and in compliance with Decree No.
104/2016/ND-CP dated July 1, 2016, on vaccination activities, and Decree No.
155/2018/ND-CP dated November 12, 2018 of the Government on amendments and
supplements to certain regulations related to business investment conditions
under the state management of the Ministry of Health, along with other related
regulations.
The measles/measles-rubella vaccination campaign will be
implemented from February 2025, starting as soon as vaccines are supplied and
no later than one month after receipt. The campaign will be conducted
province-wide, prioritizing districts, towns, and cities with ongoing measles
cases.
Eligible for vaccination include: Children
aged 1 to 10 years old in high-risk areas and areas with ongoing measles cases
or outbreaks; healthcare workers at medical facilities treating measles
patients who have not received the full dose of measles-containing vaccine as
required; specific age groups for vaccination will be determined by districts,
towns, and cities based on the local disease situation, vaccine supply from
sponsorships, and available local resources.
The plan also outlines several specific tasks related to: Reviewing
and listing eligible individuals; communication and awareness campaigns; vaccine
supply and distribution; organizing vaccination sessions; monitoring and
supervision.
