The State government was conducting the immunisation exercise through the State Primary Healthcare Development Agency in collaboration with development partners.

The executive secretary of the State Primary Healthcare Development Agency, Prof. Nusirat Elelu, said that the exercise was to further strengthen and scale-up health services, particularly to hard-to-reach, underserved and zero dose children.

She added that the exercise comprises the second round of the Big Catch-up vaccination campaigns planned for Ifelodun, Baruten and Ilorin East local government areas, while the local immunisation Plus Days was planned for implementation in the remaining 13 LGAs between February 11 and 16, 2025.

She explained that the local immunisation Plus Days and the Big Catch-up were being implemented to ramp up immunisation coverage, rapidly decrease zero dose and partially immunised children so as to increase population immunity through vaccinations.

Elelu emphasised that immunisation is one of the most successful and cost-effective health interventions of all times, adding that it has prevented millions of deaths and ill health every year, thus, reducing morbidity and mortality across the world in a safe and cost-effective manner.

She noted that the intensification exercise will adopt an integrated approach because the combination of vaccines with other health interventions such as vitamin A supplementation helps to reduce the likelihood of children dying from most of the childhood killer diseases.

She praised the State governor, AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, for providing the enabling environment as well as making funds available for the implementation of immunization campaigns.

Elelu called on all stakeholders, service providers, community leaders, especially parents and other caregivers, to ensure that their children were immunized during this period.
