Health officials in Jordan are continuing to vaccinate children of Syrian refugees at the Emirati-Jordanian Camp in Mrajeeb Al Fhood.

The refugee children are being offered the same vaccines given to children in Jordan, including the MMR (measles, mumps and rubella), DTP, polio and hepatitis vaccines, reported Wam, the state news agency.

The initiative is among the vaccination campaigns being carried out by the Jordanian government in various refugee camps, to ensure health and safety, Wam quoted a general practitioner at the camp as saying.

According to the UN refugees agency, there are more than 600,000 refugees in Jordan.
