The nationwide Measles Vaccination Campaign officially kicked off on 1 October 2026, bringing an important opportunity to protect children against measles.

The campaign, led by the Government of Uganda through the Ministry of Health, is running from 1 to 5 October 2026 at designated vaccination points across the country.

As part of this national health initiative, children at Barogal Nursery and Primary Christian School also had the opportunity to receive their measles-rubella vaccinations.

Protecting Children Through Immunization

Immunization remains an important part of protecting children and communities from vaccine-preventable diseases. The campaign targets children aged 9 to 59 months, providing an opportunity for eligible children to receive the recommended vaccination during the campaign period.

For KCIU, supporting initiatives that bring preventive healthcare closer to children and families is an important part of our commitment to building healthier communities.

Through our community and school-based health activities, we continue to promote health education, disease prevention, immunization, hygiene, and timely access to healthcare.

A Healthier Future Starts With Prevention

The vaccination exercise at Barogal Nursery and Primary Christian School demonstrates the value of bringing health services closer to where children learn and families live.

We appreciate the school administration, parents, health workers, and everyone involved in supporting the vaccination exercise and contributing to the health and wellbeing of the children.

As the national campaign continues until 5 October 2026, we encourage parents and caregivers of eligible children to seek information from designated vaccination points and health workers regarding the campaign.

Protecting children today helps build healthier communities tomorrow.
