This measure was due to the fact that due to the shortage of measles vaccine at present and in recent years in Yakutia, the number of people who are not protected against the disease has increased. This led to the spread of infection among the population, as well as outbreaks and cluster morbidity among children.
Yakutsk medical organizations have stepped up their immunization efforts. Vaccination rooms have been expanded in the city’s clinics and appointments have been organized on weekends.
