This action is to increase the immune system of babies against measles. At the moment, the mentioned research has been given to the Research Council of the Ministry of Health to evaluate. It is expected that in the fourth quarter of 2018, 6-month-old babies will begin to receive measles vaccine. In reality, many babies under 9 months old have been suffered from measles due to their mother’s low immune system and the inability to pass it to children. Therefore, it is high time that the government reduced the age of measles vaccine injection while encouraging women of reproductive age to vaccinate properly. Simultaneously, related agencies should deliver wide-scale measles vaccination to highly potential subjects so that this disease can be eliminated in the nation in 2020. The Ministry of Health is going to launch a campaign to give measles- rubella vaccine to children from 1 to 4 years old in 17 provinces that have high potential of the disease. According to the representative … [Read more...] about 6-month-old babies to have measles vaccine from 4th quarter of 2018

HCMC sets up public nurseries for 6-month-old children
Children from six months of age will be admitted to public nurseries in Ho Chi Minh City, which have only accepted kids older than 18 months, as authorities of the industrial hub try to meet the urgent need of many local working families. The decision was made after local residents voiced deep concerns over the lack of nursery schools, especially those for kids under 18 moths of age, which has given rise to illegal and unqualified childcare facilities. A few cases of child fatalities and maltreatments took place in such facilities over the past years. The project will be carried out in the next school year, which started in this September, first in suburban districts and by 2016 will cover all 24 districts, according to the Education and Training Department. The local government will invest VND30 billion in improving infrastructure at existing nurseries and training of teachers.
