The Minister of Health, Osagie Ehanire said this it at a workshop organised by the Pediatrics Association of Nigerian PAN, in collaboration with the American Academy of Pediatrics AAP in Abuja.
Ehanire said the workshop was on the dissemination of findings from the Human Centered workshop on “Improving the Demand, Delivery and Uptake of Routine Immunisation in Nigeria”.
Ehanire, who was represented by the Director and Head, Child Health Division in the ministry, Stella Nwosu, said that the Federal Government had introduced the Rotavirus vaccine into the existing Routine Immunisation.
According to him, the development is aimed at reducing the fatalities from diarrhoea caused by the virus.
The minister said that any decision or recommendations that made at the workshop would go a long way in helping Nigeria to formulate policies at a national level.
