"Despite progress, the challenge of reaching Madagascar’s more than one million
unvaccinated children remains immense.

In response, Madagascar launched the Big Catch-up in early 2024, a national
initiative supported by Gavi, UNICEF and WHO that aims to close vaccination
gaps and specifically target zero-dose children – those who have not received a
single vaccine since birth.

Experts say the campaign is crucial for preventing outbreaks of diseases such
as measles and polio, particularly in rural and isolated areas where access to
health care remains limited."
