Kosovo National Institute of Public Health ( The IKKPK has announced to citizens that measurable cases continue to register in our country, making it necessary to continue efforts to increase intelligence with vaccines and protect child health.
According to IKSC data, during April 16th, November 08th, 2026 has confirmed a total of 299 fruit cases, out of which 30 were registered during the past week.
Fruit cases are registered to citizens, the destructive part of children, from 23 Kosovo municipalities.
Over 95% of confirmed cases belong to individuals unexcused with the MMR vaccine, which protects from measles, parotitis, and rubella.
These data highlight the importance of vaccination as the primary measure for preventing disease and limiting its spread.
Fruit is a highly infectious disease that can cause serious complications, especially among young children. Long – term vaccine protects children from this disease and helps to protect the community, including babies and individuals who, for health reasons, cannot be vaccinated.
In addition to vaculation according to the regular vaccination calendar, IKPK, in collaboration with health institutions, is continuing the supplementary vaccine (catch-up) for children left unvaccinated or did not receive both front doses.
During this year, over 4,069 children of the age group 25 have been vaccinated through these activities. This result is evidence of the importance of commitment by parents and health professionals to ensure child protection.
The IKKPK calls on all parents to control their children’s vaccination status and, if they have lost any dose, to contact the vaccine teams to meet it as soon as possible.
No child should remain vulnerable because of delayed or unfinished vaccines.
Only through the co-operation of parents, health professionals and institutions can child protection and the spread of measles be increased. /Telegraphy/
