Measles Vaccine Shortage Hits Santa Cruz Health Centers

Santa Cruz, Bolivia – Health centers in Santa Cruz are facing a critical shortage of measles vaccines, with many facilities, including Perpetuo Socorro Hospital, reporting depleted stocks. The current supply is limited to booster doses exclusively for children under five years old, leaving other age groups without access to the vital immunization. According to reports from health officials, a new consignment of measles vaccines, intended for both children and adults, is expected to arrive around July 10th. This announcement comes as the community grapples with an increase in cases of measles and related symptoms. At Perpetuo Socorro Hospital, medical staff continue to attend to individuals presenting with symptoms such as colds and fevers, while the public awaits the much-needed replenishment of vaccine supplies. The situation underscores the urgent need for timely vaccine distribution to curb the spread of the disease in the region.
