The assistance has included supporting the routine vaccination of children against measles, mumps and rubella (MMR), which is now fully financed by the MOH, a mass immunization campaign against measles and rubella (MR), the modernizing of the vaccine delivery infrastructure and the creation of a state-of-the-art electronic disease surveillance system, which is being implemented in partnership with the World Health Organization (WHO) and the U.S. government. The RVF has also expanded its work to eliminate intestinal parasites in school-aged children, focusing on schools with a high concentration of children from families internally displaced during the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.
