Normally, the immunization centre of the Ministry of Health and Social Protection (MoHSP) carries out immunization on an annual basis in case of approx. 97 per cent of this cohort while the remaining three per cent tends to remain non-immunized, including migrants, gypsy and displaced people.
In response to the outbreak, the MoHSP is currently planning to conduct a nationwide MR vaccination campaign targeting children aged 1 to 9 years from 15 to 26 May 2017 with the support of the Measles and Rubella Outbreak Response Initiative (MRI) Fund.
The significant increase in new cases started in April and the trend is expected to continue. Out of the 48 new cases recorded during week 16 (17-23 April 2017), 96 per cent were unimmunized. The proportion of affected adults is somewhat higher (16.7%) than during the previous outbreak in 2009 (10.5%). The total proportion of unvaccinated persons affected by the outbreak among all the population increased from 81.9% in week 15 to 84% in week 16.
