Proper vaccination in remote areas

It was utterly shocking to hear that nine children died of an unknown disease in Chittagong which was later confirmed as measles by doctors. It was later found out that they were not properly vaccinated. Their parents supported that statement and alleged that medical workers or authorities did not reach their areas to inform them about the need for vaccination. I believe this incident is not the only one; there are similar cases in other remote places of the country. The authorities must investigate these problems and immediately start providing healthcare services to underprivileged people in remote areas.
