Extended Programme for Immunisation’s (EMI) Dr Younas claimed a decrease of over 50 percent in measles cases in Punjab.
On Saturday, he said that an intensive drive had resulted in the reduction of daily measles cases from 50-80 to just 20-40.
He claimed that the figures would continue to improve as time progressed, as the measles vaccine would start developing immunisation after three weeks of the initial vaccination.
During the anti-measles drive from April 29 to May 5, around 250,000 children ranging from six months to 10 years were vaccinated.
Moreover, only 27 cases of measles were reported in Punjab during the last 24 hours including only three from Lahore.
However, the total cases of measles during the previous six and-a-half months were 22,885, including 192 deaths in Punjab.
