The Kaduna State Primary Healthcare Development Agency says it would commence second round of polio immunisation across the state on April 16.
The Agency’s Deputy Director, Hamza Ibrahim-Hamza, told Newsmen in Kaduna that the vaccination would run from April 13 to April 16 in the state’s 23 local government areas.
He said that the state hoped to achieve 85 percent in polio immunization, which is the national level.
Ibrahim-Hamza said that the agency had intensified efforts to involve traditional and religious leaders to track children that are under one year.
He said that at least two health workers would be sent to hard-to-reach areas for proper coverage.
He appealed to parents, guardians and caregivers to ensure they made their children available for immunisation during the campaign, and for routine immunisation in nearby health centres or hospitals.
