Public health experts have repeatedly urged the government to declare measles a national public health emergency. However, the government has not made any official declaration, though it launched an immunisation campaign on April 5.
Initially, the government administered measles vaccines at 30 upazilas in 18 measles hotspot districts.
Later, the vaccination campaign was expanded nationwide for children aged between six months and 59 months.
