摘要

From early 2019, measles outbreaks, resulting in death and suffering, swept through the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Madagascar, the Philippines, Ukraine and Samoa. Measles claimed over 6,000 lives in DRC, most of whom were children. UNICEF, along with partners from the Measles & Rubella Initiative (M&RI) and GAVI, the Vaccine Alliance, worked with governments to respond to these outbreaks.
