Measles outbreak: Millions of children left out of vaccination target
Even before the national measles vaccination campaign ended on 20 May, official figures showed that the number of vaccinated children had already surpassed the target. At the time, EPI Deputy Director Hasanul Mahmud and several other DGHS officials said the coverage exceeded 100 per cent because some children older than five years who came for vaccination were not turned away. Those explanations were also published in Prothom Alo.
