Thus, 9 out of 10 unvaccinated people become infected after contact with a sick person. On July 17, the nationwide “Measles Catch-up Vaccination Campaign” will start in Ukraine. More than 300,000 doses of the European MMR vaccine have already been delivered to Ukraine and distributed to the regions of the country.
