Health Ministry Explains Vaccine Delays
The Egyptian Ministry of Health and Population announced that a child's illness does not prevent receiving the measles and rubella vaccinations, but the child's health condition is the determining factor. They clarified that the vaccination can be administered to children with mild illnesses such as diarrhea or a cold, while it is preferable to postpone it in cases of severe illness after consulting a doctor. It is also permitted to vaccinate children who are on antibiotics after assessing their health status. However, in cases of a fever exceeding 38.5°C or hospitalization, medical advice should be sought before vaccination. The national vaccination campaign, scheduled for October 2026, targets children aged 9 months up to 10 years. The campaign is free for both Egyptians and non-Egyptians.
