Bangladesh is currently witnessing one of its worst measles outbreaks in recent history, with over 250 deaths, a majority of them children. Due to the severity in Bangladesh, the World Health Organisation (WHO) has raised concerns about the highly contagious viral disease spreading across borders and triggering outbreaks in countries like India and Myanmar.
India, as an expert pointed out, remains highly vaccinated against measles, but can't let its guard down.
As per government statistics, India's measles-rubella vaccination coverage stands at 93.7% for the first dose and 92.2% for the second dose in 2024-2025.
