Advocacy and field operations across the FCT have been stepped up to protect children from vaccine-preventable diseases through timely immunisation.

Mr Yakubu described the stakeholders’ active participation in the polio and rubella vaccination in the state as a welcome development.
The governor’s wife said the vaccine is safe, well-formulated, and a powerful tool against polio.
According to him, youth advocacy remains key to promoting awareness about the importance of immunisation.
Mr Gana reaffirmed that polio vaccines were safe and effective.
The MR vaccines are designed to curb measles and rubella, both viral diseases that can cause severe complications and even death in children and adults.
