孟加拉國正面臨數十年來最嚴重的麻疹爆發。
Bangladesh is currently grappling with its most severe measles outbreak in decades.
自2026年3月中旬以來,該國已記錄近18.7萬例疑似病例及超過1,000人死亡,根據美國疾控中心(CDC)的數據,這是全球規模最大的一次疫情。

專家將此危機歸咎於2024年至2025年間,因常規免疫計畫中斷而導致的「免疫缺口」,加上政治動盪及公衛重心轉移到其他健康緊急事件上。
Children under five are the most vulnerable, representing 80% of infections, with infants under nine months particularly at risk.
為此,政府於2026年9月26日發起緊急疫苗接種運動,目標是為340萬未接種的兒童提供疫苗。
The virus has spread from initial hotspots to all 64 districts.
儘管當局自4月起已為近2000萬兒童進行了接種,但達到95%的覆蓋率仍是阻斷傳播的關鍵目標。
Health officials have also lowered the minimum vaccination age to six months to protect infants sooner.
此外,同時爆發的登革熱疫情讓形勢變得更加複雜,在這場公共衛生治理的嚴峻考驗下,國家醫療體系面臨著巨大的壓力。
While authorities have vaccinated nearly 20 million children since April, reaching 95% coverage remains the essential goal to stop transmission.
