More than 120 children have died across Punjab of measles – a disease that can be prevented with precautionary measures. The relevant ministries and departments seem helpless in containing this deadly outbreak. To deal with this issue, I suggest that social workers from every part of the country, belonging to every community, be included as members of vaccination committees both at the federal and provincial levels. This will take some burden off the government’s shoulder.
