The Coalition of NGOs for Child Protection KOMF, Action for Mothers and Children, the Association of Patients’ Rights in Kosovo ( IYEL-PSS) voice concern about increasing measurable cases in Kosovo and urging parents and stewards to provide child vaccines in time, as one of the most effective ways to protect their health.
According to a media report, it becomes known that the data of the Kosovo National Public Health Institute ( IKPK, during April 16th, November 1, 2026, has confirmed a total of 269 fruit cases, of which 27 were registered during the last week.
Fruth is a highly infectious disease that can cause serious complications, especially among young children. This data recalls the importance of timely vaccine and concerted efforts to prevent the spread of the disease, the report says.
The approach becomes known that the children’s vaccination programme in Kosovo represents an important public health achievement, made possible thanks to the continued commitment of health institutions, professionals, municipalities, parents and other partners.
Yet, the decline in coverage by the first dose of measles, shythmies, and rubella ( MMR, from 95% in 2019 to 89% in 2024 and 82% in 2025, highlights the importance of continuing joint efforts to increase inoculation. KOMF, AMC, PRAK and ISEE-PSS are urging all parents and stewards to control their children’s vaccination status and ensure that all doses recommended under the regular vaccination calendar are taken. Parents whose children have not received all the recommended doses are encouraged to head to family medical centers for counseling and supplementary vaccines.
The report says that health professionals are among the most reliable sources of information and advice for parents and families.
Therefore, it is important that your parents ‘ questions and concerns regarding vaccination be addressed through open, respectful communication and information based on scientific evidence. In this regard, WHO’s latest assessment, published in September 2026, reconfirms that scientific evidence does not support the existence of a cause link between vaccines, including MMR vaccines, and the spectre disorders of autism, the report says. /Telegraphy/
