Ogun State Government will commence the 2024 Integrated Measles Vaccination Campaign across the 20 Local Government Areas of the state from Saturday, October 19 to Friday, October 25, 2024.

 A release signed by the Commissioner for Health, Dr. Tomi Coker, stated that the programme would target children between ages 9months and 59months, to reduce morbidity and mortality resulting from measles.

The release indicated that the seven-day exercise would involve the use of government health facilities, churches, mosques, markets, hard-to-reach communities and other designated temporary fixed posts.

          It enjoined parents and caregivers to take advantage of the exercise by taking their under-five children, as well as wards to designated centers nearest to them for vaccination.
