5.7 million children, representing 58 percent of the population of Haiti, will be immunized against measles, rubella, polio, treated for worms and given vitamin A supplements between November 2007 and March 2008. The largest ever immunization campaign to date was officially launched this week in Port-au-Prince by the Prime Minister, Ministry of Public Health and Population, and the Ministry of Education in collaboration with World Health Organization, UNICEF, MINUSTAH (UN Mission for Stabilization in Haiti), and other partners.
