Paraguay's Ministry of Health has announced that measles vaccination coverage has reached 89% across the country, according to a report by Unicanal. As of the latest data, a total of 421,203 children have been vaccinated.
The figure represents a significant step toward the national target for measles immunization, though health authorities continue to urge parents to ensure their children are fully vaccinated to prevent outbreaks.
Unicanal, which first reported the statistics, noted that the ministry did not specify a timeline for reaching the remaining 11% of the target population. The report did not include regional breakdowns or details on vaccination campaigns.
