Understand the story.
A five-day campaign
WHO reports that Angola launched the campaign in Luanda on October 23, with vaccinations scheduled through October 27 across the country. The announcement concerns four diseases: polio, measles, rubella and yellow fever. [1]
The target is not the result
The stated reach is more than 10 million children. That is an ambition for the operation, not a count already vaccinated or evidence that every child receives every vaccine. WHO supports the campaign; its launch account does not independently establish delivered coverage. [2]
Confirm the local details
The government urges parents and guardians to use vaccination centres and keep records current. Read WHO’s dated notice, then confirm eligibility, location and availability with a local vaccination service. The notice does not list eligible ages or individual sites; the 2008 photograph is place context only. [3]
