Transitioning to a 5-dose Measles and Measles-Rubella vaccine presentation for routine immunization

Healthcare workers (HCWs) can be hesitant to open Measles (M) and Measles-Rubella (MR) 10-dose vaccine vials due to fear of wastage or stockouts. This hesitancy results in missed opportunities to vaccinate children.​ Switching to a 5-dose M/MR vaccine vial for routine immunization (RI) can minimize HCW hesitancy to open a vial; more children are reached through smaller, more frequent sessions, leading to an increase in vaccination coverage.​
