Mass child vaccination campaign in Syria. Syria has resumed its mass child vaccination campaign, begun in 1978, eliminating polio in 1997, tetanus in 1997 and with key advances against measles. 11 vaccines are being given to all children under 5, especially 240,000 who missed out due to the war. There are hundreds of centres and mobile teams, including in areas controlled by the armed gangs. More than 8,000 health workers are involved. More here at SANA: https://sana.sy/en/?p=194164
