A @DrsWithoutBorders team delivers measles vaccines to children in Conakry, Guinea. MSF recently launched a large-scale measles vaccination campaign in coordination with the Guinean Ministry of Health. Since the beginning of the year, there have been more than 3,000 confirmed cases and 14 deaths due to measles in Guinea. Conakry and Nzérékoré are the most affected districts. A measles epidemic was declared on February 8. MSF, together with the Ministry of Health in Conakry, are mobilizing 126 teams of 13 people, spread out across 164 vaccination sites in the city of three million people. All children from six months up to 10 years of age will be vaccinated. MSF also supports 30 health centers in Conakry to care for children suffering from mild cases of measles, as well as the referral center where severe cases are hospitalized.
