The Department of Disease Prevention requested the Quang Nam Provincial Department of Health to speed up the implementation of the 2025 measles vaccination campaign in the area to ensure the completion of 20,000 doses of vaccine allocated to the province before March 25, prioritizing vaccination for children in districts with many cases or suspected cases of measles.

At the same time, continue to effectively implement the expanded immunization program, organize catch-up vaccinations, and catch-up vaccinations against measles for children who have not been vaccinated or have not received enough doses of vaccine. The Quang Nam Department of Health also needs to base on resources and the situation of measles cases and suspected cases in each locality to be able to apply appropriate forms of vaccination implementation such as mobile vaccinations and home vaccinations to quickly cover vaccines and achieve immunity in the community.

The Department of Disease Prevention also reminded the Quang Nam Department of Health not to let the lack of funding, equipment, medical supplies, and medical staff delay/slow down the progress of measles vaccination; in case of exceeding the authority to resolve these difficulties, it is necessary to immediately report to the Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee for resolution. Nha Trang Pasteur Institute needs to review and summarize the allocation and use of 56,060 doses of measles-rubella vaccine provided by the Ministry of Health; based on the epidemic situation, the progress of the measles vaccination campaign and the needs of the provinces and cities under its management to proactively coordinate vaccines in the plan between localities, ensuring timely, safe and effective use.
