Nyeri County is hoping to attain a 100 per cent vaccination target with a planned countywide inoculation campaign against measles and typhoid for children aged nine months and 14 years.
The Department of Medical Services and Public Health has already released notification of the planned vaccination exercise that kicks off from July 5th to July 14th 2025 under the National Measles-Rubella and Typhoid Conjugate Vaccine Campaign.
The county hopes to inoculate a total of 66,509 children aged between nine and 59 months with measles-rubella jabs and another 213,509 children aged between nine months and 14 years with typhoid-conjugate vaccines.
Nationally, the 10-day campaign is targeting approximately 3.9 million children across all 47 counties, after which both vaccines will be incorporated into Kenya's routine immunization schedule. "We are targeting a 100 per cent success rate in our vaccination campaign but the number could be low due to the small number of staff we have on the ground and a slim budget for the same.
