Measles vaccination in Adré

MSF has been working through an emergency response in Eastern Chad for almost one year to meet the humanitarian and medical needs of refugees who fled Sudan after the outbreak of the war.

In our clinics in Adré transit camp and Aboutengué camp, we provide paediatric support, including essential health services for children. Since the beginning of this year till July 24, we have provided 43,709 paediatric consultations for children under five years old.

Recently, one of our medical activities in Adré transit camp was the measles vaccination campaign, which took place from July 8 to 13. During these six days, more than 22,000 children and teenagers, aged from 6 months to 14 years, received the vaccine.

We established seven vaccination points in the camp, followed by mobile units that travelled throughout the camp to reach as many children as possible.
