The Kaduna State government has secured support from Gavi, the World Health Organisation and UNICEF to strengthen routine immunisation and reach under-covered communities.
The partnership is aimed at cutting the number of zero-dose and under-immunised children in the state, where access barriers and weak outreach have left many families outside routine vaccination. Health officials say closing those gaps is central to preventing outbreaks of measles, diphtheria and other vaccine-preventable diseases.
