The vaccine for measles, mumps and rubella is currently being administered to Afghans at military installations in the United States, Psaki said.

She added the administration is exploring measures to vaccinate people at overseas locations.

Individuals are also being offered Covid-19 vaccines and tested for the virus.

The Biden administration continues to grapple with how it will safely vet and resettle thousands of people who fled the Taliban as it took over Afghanistan this summer.

The Department of Defense Inspector General is now evaluating the military's process for screening and tracking of Afghan evacuees this month, including individuals who are flagged as security risks.

The Pentagon last month also acknowledged unsanitary conditions at the Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar -- the base where the US military temporarily stationed thousands of evacuees from Afghanistan.
