Pupils seeking admission into nursery and primary schools in Abuja may soon be required to present proof of immunisation, as the Federal Capital Territory Administration hints of plans to introduce a compulsory immunisation verification policy for school admissions.
Mandate Secretary of the Health Services and Environment Secretariat, Dr Adedolapo Fasawe, who announced the plan during a press briefing on Thursday, said the move was part of efforts to ensure compliance with vaccination laws under the Child Rights Act.
