Supplementary Vaccination Activities Show Limited Impact In Zambia.(Brief Article)
2001 JUL 11 - (NewsRx.com & NewsRx.net) --
In March 2001, the World Health Organization set a goal for reducing global measles deaths by 50% by 2005. Unfortunately, assessment of supplementary vaccination activities (SVAs) in Zambia indicate limited success of this approach toward reaching that goal.
In Zambia, measles is one of the five major causes of sicknesses and deaths among children five years of age and younger. In August 1999, SVAs were conducted in Lusaka, Zambia.
Although conducted in accordance with WHO recommendations, SVAs in Lusaka had limited impact on measles morbidity and mortality during the 11-month period following the intervention, according to Gustavo Dayan, a researcher with the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's National Immunization Program.
