Health launches free measles vaccination for 21 million children
The Ministry of Health and Population announced the launch of a nationwide free vaccination campaign against measles and German measles in Egypt during October 2026. The campaign targets approximately 21 million children aged 9 months to 10 years, including both Egyptian and non-Egyptian children on the country's soil. The campaign will use the MR vaccine to protect against both diseases, aiming to strengthen herd immunity and reduce the spread of infectious diseases. The ministry has designated the hotline 105 to respond to family inquiries. The campaign carries the slogan "Together We Protect Our Children... and Maintain a Healthier Community" to ensure greater protection for children from infectious diseases.
