Vaccination campaign launched: Dadaab refugee camp, Northern Kenya.

UNICEF, the Kenya Ministry of Health and WHO launched a vaccination campaign for children living in the host communities around Dadaab refugee camp in Northern Kenya. The campaign will target 202,665 children under five, with measles and polio vaccines, together with Vitamin A and de-worming tablets. The action was described as part of a regional push to ensure all children in drought affected areas are vaccinated against a killer disease like measles which can be deadly for malnourished children, and be protected from polio.
