Anti-measles vaccination campaign, which was scheduled to begin on 25th May 2016, has been postponed in Karachi.

Reliable sources at the health department told PPI that an expanded programme on immunisation (EPI) had decided to carry out a special vaccination drive in 120 high risk union councils of Karachi from May 25 to June 2 to contain measles outbreak in the city. They planned to vaccinate around 1.1 million children between the ages of six months to five years in 120 high risk union councils of Karachi.

The decision was taken after reporting of over 500 measles cases from different districts of Karachi. The special measles vaccination drive has been planned to carry out in union councils where sanitation conditions are extremely poor and the rate of routine immunisation was very low. Sources said the drive had been postponed due to polio drive which was expected to start from 23th May in the city. New date will be announced soon.

  1. I will never understand why foreign governments continue to use vaccines that have proven to NOT work. All they need to do is look at the increase in childhood illnesses in the US alone to see that something is wrong. Every Measles outbreaks in the last 10 years in the US have been traced back to the Measles vaccine. Even the California Disney outbreak was traced back to a vaccine strain. Also, the CDC most likely hasn't made it public that the so called unvaccinated person who they blamed on the outbreak—has never to this day been found. Here are two studies that clarify this matter:

    Failure to reach the goal of measles elimination. Apparent paradox of measles infections in immunized persons.
    Poland GA1, Jacobson RM.
    Conclusion: The apparent paradox is that as measles immunization rates rise to high levels in a population, measles becomes a disease of immunized persons. Because of the failure rate of the vaccine and the unique transmissibility of the measles virus, the currently available measles vaccine, used in a single-dose strategy, is unlikely to completely eliminate measles. The long-term success of a two-dose strategy to eliminate measles remains to be determined. http://archinte.jamanetwork (dot) com/article.aspx?articleid=619215
    The measles vaccine has failed", he explained two years ago in a prescient paper, “The re-emergence of measles in developed countries.” "In that paper, he warned that due to factors that most haven’t noticed, measles has come back to be a serious public health threat. Poland sees the need for a major rethink, after concluding that the current measles vaccine is unlikely to ever live up to the job expected of it: “outbreaks are occurring even in highly developed countries where vaccine access, public health infrastructure, and health literacy are not significant issues. This is unexpected and a worrisome harbinger — measles outbreaks are occurring where they are least expected,” he wrote in his 2012 paper, listing the “surprising numbers of cases occurring in persons who previously received one or even two documented doses of measles-containing vaccine.” During the 1989-1991 U.S. outbreaks, 20% to 40% of those affected had received one to two doses. In a 2011 outbreak in Canada, “over 50% of the 98 individuals had received two doses of measles vaccine.”
