Morocco's measles vaccination rates fall short of targets

In recent weeks, measles has claimed lives in regions of Morocco, despite the country's well-known effectiveness in its vaccination strategies against childhood diseases. In the Tangier-Tetouan-Al Hoceima region, the epidemic has resulted in eight deaths. Dr. Tayeb Hamdi, a physician and researcher in health policies and systems, suggests that the situation reflects a laxity whose underlying causes need to be identified.
