In the context of the current national efforts to reduce the spread of the measles virus “Bouhamron”, the national epidemiological vigilance system of the Ministry of Health and Social Protection has recorded a continuous decrease in the number of new virus injuries for the fifth consecutive week.
The current week experienced a 13% drop in the number of cases recorded during the period from February 24 to March 2, 2025, because 2481 cases were recorded, to be added to the decline rate which was reached last week because it recorded 2863 cases, with a drop of 14.9%.
This remarkable improvement reflects the great efforts deployed by health professionals in the different regions of the kingdom, in addition to effective coordination between the various partners, and the intense demand of citizens for the processes of counting on the doses of the vaccine which are not fulfilled, within the national campaign to verify the reception.
In order to improve these gains, the Ministry of Health and Social Protection has decided to extend the national campaign to complete vaccination until March 28, 2025, in order to allow all families to benefit from basic vaccines, including the measles vaccine, which remains available free of charge in all health centers.
In this context, the ministry urges parents to ensure that their children are vaccinated by going to the nearest health center, in order to preserve their health.
Despite the notable drop in the number of cases registered nationally, the Ministry of Health and Social Protection recommends maintaining a high level of health vigilance, in particular in light of the disparities recorded between regions in terms of number of cases and rate of pollination coverage.
Consequently, the ministry renews its appeal to all citizens to engage in national efforts made to eliminate measles, stressing that pollination remains the most effective and effective way to prevent diseases and its complications and limit its spread.
