LIBERIA: Over 600,000 children immunized against measles since August

More than 600,000 children have been immunized against measles in the Liberian capital Monrovia and two nearby counties since peace returned to the country in August, UNICEF said last Thursday. The organisation said it aimed to complete coverage of Montserrado and Margibi counties, just to the north of Monrovia, by the end of this year.
