The  immunisation Plus Days campaign is aimed at boosting the immunity of the children and protect them against polio disease.

LEADERSHIP reports that the exercise will be carried out in all 16 local government areas of the state.

The executive secretary of the Kwara State Primary Health Care Development Agency (KWSPHCDA), Prof. Nusirat Elelu, explained that poliomyelitis (polio) is a highly infectious viral disease that largely affects children under five years old.

“Though the country is wild polio virus free, there are threats around us as some countries are still isolating the wild polio virus while the circulating virus is also a source of concern”, she added.

Elelu noted that Kwara State will be implementing the April round alongside other states in the country as scheduled by the National Polio Emergency Operation Centre, emphasising that children from ages 0-5 years are expected to be vaccinated, irrespective of their previous vaccination status and stressed that the vaccine is safe, efficacious and does not have overdose.

She urged parents, caregivers, religious leaders, schools, and religious institutions to make eligible children available for vaccination as the teams moved from house to house, markets, religious houses, and schools.
