Last year, the Expanded Program on Immunization (EPI) campaigns vaccinated 768,647 children out of the 943,116 targeted, for a coverage rate of 80%. This statistic is a source of satisfaction for Cameroonian health authorities. Skepticism against vaccination peaked because of the Covid-19 vaccines, which were widely reported to be dangerous. According to experts in the field, many epidemics take advantage of unvaccinated children as a gateway to spread. This is the case of measles. In response, Cameroon vaccinated 42,261 children against measles in 2022. These children also received vitamin A supplements.
