Ethiopia, South Sudan refugees : first round of vaccination in Gambella Region, 11/2014

MSF proposed to carry out a PCV and Pentavalent vaccination campaign in the 3 camps of Leitchuor, Kule and Tierkidi, as well as in the entry points and transit sites. The objectives were to prevent PCV and DTP-Hib related outbreaks, and limit the risk of hospitalization due to these morbidities. The first round of vaccination occurred in November and December 2014, while the second round is planned for February 2015, and the third dose of vaccine, when needed, will be administered through the routine immunization program. During the first round, 6,948 doses of Pentavalent vaccine were administered to children between 6 and 23 months and 23,074 doses of PCV vaccines were administered to children between 6-59 months).
