The executive secretary explained that several strategies had been deployed to ensure that every eligible child is reached during the exercise.

“The immunisation campaign we are starting in the FCT on July 29 to August 11 is a supplemental immunisation exercise aimed at interrupting the risk of transmission of all forms of the poliovirus and boosting the routine immunization coverage in the FCT.

“All the PHC facilities and government hospitals in the six area councils of the FCT will be used as vaccination post. This will help ease stress on the parents and care givers, there will be temporary vaccination posts situated in workshop centres, schools, markets, village squares and other designated centres identified by the communities,” he said.

The coordinator, World Health Organization (WHO) FCT, Dr Kumshida Balami, also said the vaccination would help in the fight against poliovirus in the city, which is one of the flagship points of the body.

Balami said the key priorities for the exercise also include immediate implementation of the integrated fpv & RI intensification across the country.
