Dhaka, April 15 -- The United States is supporting Bangladesh's Ministry of Health and Family Welfare through UNICEF with an emergency measles-rubella vaccination campaign to deliver over 21.9 million doses, protecting 1.2 million children under age five.

This effort reflects the Donald Trump administration's America First Global Health Strategy - preventing disease outbreaks abroad.

It also keeps America and Bangladesh safe, strengthens global health systems, and protects communities from infectious diseases, said the US Embassy in Dhaka on Wednesday.
