NPHCDA PLEDGES COMMITMENT TO CHILD IMMUNIZATION.

The National Primary Health Care Development Agency (NPHCDA) says it is committed to ensuring that every child in Nigeria receives life-saving vaccines. 

The Executive Director of the agency, Dr. Muyi Aina, made this known in Abuja on Sunday, emphasizing that immunization is a non-negotiable right of every child, assuring that the vaccines are safe, effective, and cost-efficient in preventing deadly childhood diseases.

Aina revealed that the NPHCDA is intensifying routine immunization and social mobilization activities to ensure they reach out to children who have never received any vaccine, especially in hard-to-reach and underserved areas. 

Urging Nigerians to be vaccine champions and share the message with their neighbors to ensure every eligible child is vaccinated, Aina called for collective responsibility from all sectors, including traditional and religious leaders, civil society, and the media, to tackle vaccine hesitancy and ensure every child is vaccinated. 

The NPHCDA commended parents and caregivers who allow their children to receive life-saving vaccines, noting that their trust and cooperation make disease prevention possible.
