Health authorities in Enugu State, Nigeria, report 100% coverage in a measles–rubella vaccination campaign, with approximately 2.19 million children immunised, according to WHO-linked reporting and local media. Concurrently, the University of Benin Teaching Hospital (UBTH) and a state government have publicly denied reports of deaths linked to the measles–rubella vaccine, underscoring efforts to counter ‘killer vaccine’ rumours and maintain public confidence in immunisation campaigns. The development is significant for regional disease control, health-system credibility, and the management of vaccine-related misinformation in Nigeria.
