THE Government has asked headteachers to ensure that their pupils and students have received measles immunisation certificates.
State minister for primary health care Dr. Alex Kamugisha yesterday said the Government was targeting a 95% coverage in the mass measles immunisation campaign.
He said if the target was not achieved, another exercise would take place in three to four years.
Kamugisha said measles immunisation would continue until the disease was eradicated from the country.
