At least 19 children in Mubi North Local Government Area of Adamawa are suspected to have died from complications arising from measles, with over 200 children infected, according to Commissioner for Health Felix Tangwami. The outbreak was reported in Yola, leading to a rapid deployment of medical personnel and supplies to affected communities. Tangwami assures that children with severe infections will be referred to hospitals, and the medical team will extend assistance to Gombi Local Government Area where another outbreak has been reported. The commissioner attributes the outbreak to parents’ refusal to immunize their children.
