Residents of Jos North Local Government Area are actively participating in a Government-led vaccination campaign targeting measles, rubella. The campaign, which began on the 18th of October, 2025 was scheduled to run until the 27th, October, 2025 with two additional days set aside for mop-up activities.
Halima Chintu, the officer in charge of the Primary Health Care Centre in Jos North, told BusinessDay that the campaign had seen significant community engagement. “So far, the campaign has been progressing very well. We have seen a good turnout, particularly because this area is a large settlement with many children,” he said.
Over the weekend, the turnout was especially high as children were at home. Participation remains strong during weekdays despite many children attending school. “Our team has been following their microplans, visiting several schools, and ensuring that children are reached effectively,” Chintu added.
