To vaccinate 2.4 million population, the required fund is US$ 5.2 million. The Central Emergency Response Fund has approved US$ 2.6 million while US$ 1.7 million has been mobilized at country level, including operational support from international nongovernmental organizations (INGOs), the World Health Organization (WHO), as well as Government contribution.
