The first stage of the national immunization campaign against Measles and Poliomyelitis (often called polio) is to be launched on Saturday in seven governorates of YemenÒ The campaign to be held on 10 - 15 March targets immunizing two million children under age of 10 against measles and under age of 5 against polio in the governorates of Aden, Abyan, Lahj, Shabwa, Baida'a, Dhamar and Sa'ada. Minister of Public Health and Population Ahmed al-Ansi appealed the parents to take their children to the immunization centers to defend them from Measles and Polio. He asserted that that the ministry, represented by the National Expanded Program on Immunization had completed the requirements for carrying out the campaign, including the free measles and polio vaccines.
