The head of the National Center for Disease Control Bader Al-Deen Najjar, on Monday, said that the primary outcome of the vaccination campaign against measles, poliomyelitis, and Rubella amounted to two million and 750 thousand children.
Al-Najjar stated that the number of children vaccinated against measles was 2.5 million, while the number of children vaccinated against poliomyelitis was one and a quarter million children, adding that the numbers are still increasing because of the delay of some health facilities in sending their final statistics.
Al Najjar praised the awareness and response of citizens, stressing that the campaign was successful by all standards and professionalism and the testimony of international organizations.
The campaign of vaccinations carried out by the Center for Disease Control in all cities of Libya began on the eighth of this month and ended on the 15th of the same month.
