    Over 2 million children under 5 in 77 districts of Pakistan are directly threatened by measles and polio. Emergency vaccination efforts are needed to protect pregnant women and children, who are the most vulnerable in emergencies. Immunizing over 20% of displaced people can prevent diseases like polio, measles, hepatitis, diphtheria, whooping cough, tetanus, tuberculosis, and influenza. Vaccinations can avert many childhood illnesses and deaths, including over 126,000 measles cases and 600 measles deaths through vaccination and vitamin A supplementation. Mothers and newborns can also be protected from tetanus.

    IMMUNIZATION

    In 77 districts of Pakistan more than two million children under the age of 5 have
    direct threats from Measles and Polio. Emergency vaccination efforts are
    required to protect the most vulnerable group in emergencies - pregnant women
    and children. Immunization will protect more than 20% of the displaced
    population from vaccine preventable diseases (VPD); Polio, Measles, Hepatitis,
    Diphtheria, whooping cough, tetanus, childhood tuberculosis and influenza (Hib).
    Immunization can avert a large number of childhood illnesses and deaths from
    the immediate threat of a Measles outbreak. Nearly 126,000 diseases and 600
    deaths averted through measles vaccination with Vitamin A Supplementation and
    mothers and their newly born children can be saved from Tetanus. Nutritional
    Support to pregnant women & children through high energy food supplements is
    also required. Establishing child friendly spaces wherein educational and
    recreational facilities as well as psycho-social support is provided is our priority.
    We are working for the revival of damaged and interrupted EPI Services, support
    Lady Health Workers programme in re-establishing Health Houses and LHWs
    services. We aim to integrate immunization during community based
    interventions – Mother & Child Weeks / Days.
