In a coordinated national response, the World Health Organisation (WHO), the National Primary Health Care Development Agency (NPHCDA), and the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) commemorated African Vaccination Week on Tuesday in Abuja.
They announced the scaling up of innovative strategies to ensure no child was left behind in the fight against vaccine-preventable diseases.
Africa Vaccination Week, established 13 years ago and endorsed by African Union member states, presented a unique opportunity for countries in the African region to campaign for strengthened and effective immunisation delivery systems.
