Muazu Musa Omeiza, executive director, Kogi state Primary Health Care Development Agency, has said that the state government is targeting over 1.9 million children aged between 9 months to 14 years, with the Measles-Rubella vaccination, protecting them from two highly infectious and potentially deadly diseases.
He stated this at the Integrated Measles-Rubella campaign flag -off ceremony in Lokoja sponsored by UNICEF and other donors.
“We are deploying the novel Oral Polio Vaccine (nOPV2) to strengthen our defence against any resurgence of the polio virus and maintain Nigeria’s hard -earned polio-free status,” he said.
