Dear Students,
The Ministry of Health has declared a special MR Vaccination( Measles, Rubella) week from the 4th of Nov- to the 9th Of November to cover the partially/unvaccinated population of the 20-30 age category. This is because the latest data has proven that those who have not been vaccinated with MCV(measles-containing vaccine) age appropriately in their childhood are the most high-risk category now who are vulnerable to infection with measles as well as spreading the disease within the community.
Accordingly, it was identified that the Colombo Municipal Council ( CMC) is a high-risk priority area and conducts a vaccination program to cover 20-30 MCV unvaccinated residential population and institutions including Universities by the Public Health Department ( PHD)of CMC.
The universities are instructed to provide details of Vaccinated/ Unvaccinated students data to the PHD.
Please fill out the google form as soon as possible. The Google form link is attached to this email below.
PLEASE CONSIDER THIS URGENT
