Polio programme provides vital
support.
to nationwide measles
vaccination in Afghanistan

With more than twenty years’ experience on the ground in Afghanistan,
WHO’s polio eradication programme continues to leverage
its extensive operational capacity.
to deliver better health outcomes for all
Afghans,
including providing vital support to the recent nationwide measles
vaccination campaign.
Measles outbreaks were
reported across Afghanistan throughout 2022,
with more than 5,000 cases and an
estimated 300 deaths reported by November.
Complications from the measles virus include severe diarrhoea
and dehydration, pneumonia, ear and eye complications,
encephalitis or swelling of the brain,
permanent disability, and death.
Most cases are children under the age of 5
years.
There is no treatment for measles,
the only reliable protection is vaccination.
While a series of sub national
measles vaccination campaigns took place in 2022
reaching approximately three
million children in 141 districts,
the nationwide campaign from November 26 to December 5
represented the first national measles drive
since the political transition in August 2021.
The campaign covered 329 districts in all 34 provinces,
vaccinating 5.36 million children
aged between from 9 to 59 months
against measles.
6.1 million children between 0 to 59 months
received oral polio vaccine.
WHO’s polio eradication
programme has significant reach in Afghanistan,
with a presence in every
district in the country.
The polio programme leveraged
this presence to recruit vaccinators,
organize vaccination sites, and train campaign
staff.
With longstanding relationships with local
authorities
, the polio programme assisted in the selection.
of local schools, clinics
, or mosques to serve as
vaccinations sites.
The programme’s established relationships with
health institutions
and communities enabled polio
staff to recruit local health workers.
and other staff to fill the
roles of measles vaccinators and provide training.
Sharing their experience of
implementing polio vaccination campaigns
helped measles vaccinators prepare and plan
for the task ahead.
