1,550 health workers vaccinated against measles

Measles vaccination for health workers at high risk of infection.

Vaccination helps protect the health of health workers.

To prepare well for vaccination, local hospitals and medical centers have developed plans and disseminated information about the vaccination campaign and the benefits of vaccination; compiled a list of medical staff registered for vaccination and made a vaccine budget; ensured adequate human resources, supplies, equipment and vaccines for deployment; and established an emergency team to be ready to handle post-vaccination reactions.

Research by the World Health Organization (WHO) shows that health workers are 13 times more likely to contract measles than the general population.

Medical staff (doctors, nurses, pharmacists, laboratory technicians, etc.) are people who are often exposed to infectious and hazardous factors, increasing the risk of occupational disease transmission. Therefore, vaccination is an effective measure to prevent disease.

Nurses visit measles patients being treated at the Infectious Diseases Department, Muong Khuong District General Hospital.

Measles vaccination helps protect the health of medical staff, limit infection between medical staff and patients, and at the same time, create peace of mind for medical staff while performing their duties.
