Despite progress, measles vaccine coverage in Bangladesh remained below the desired national and international targets. Bangladesh introduced MCV1 in 1989 at 9 months of age and MCV2 in 2012 at 15 months of age. Bangladesh began the Expanded Program on Immunisation in 1979 with UNICEF and WHO support. A 2014 campaign helped raise MCV1 and MCV2 coverage substantially by 2016.
