In October 2003, the Ethiopian Red Cross worked in partnership with Ministry of Health, local national authorities, WHO, UNICEF USAID, and other members of the global Measles Initiative in a massive effort to vaccinate children under 15 years against measles. More than 300 Red Cross volunteers in districts east and west of the capital of Ethiopia, Addis were successful in reaching 179,000 children from the more isolated parts of these districts. A total of 9 million children were vaccinated across the country.
