In just five days, Uganda vaccinated 8.3 million children against measles and rubella. The nationwide drive, which ended on 5 October, covered every child aged nine months to five years, whatever their vaccine history. This is part of the global catchup effort we’ve reported in here before: about three million Ugandan children missed their second dose during and after Covid, and the country had 66 measles outbreaks last year.
