Jigawa targets 1 6 million children for polio immunisation
That's great news! Here's a rewritten version with some additional information:
The Jigawa State Government has set a target to immunize 1.6 million children against polio in the state. This is part of the ongoing efforts to eradicate polio in Nigeria and other countries.
According to reports, the state government has launched a mass vaccination campaign to reach all children under the age of 15 in the state. The campaign is being carried out in collaboration with the National Primary Healthcare Development Agency (NPHCDA) and other stakeholders.
The goal of the campaign is to ensure that all children in the state are protected against polio, a highly infectious disease that can cause paralysis and even death. Polio is a major public health concern in Nigeria, and the country has been working to eradicate the disease since 1996.
The Jigawa State Government has been at the forefront of the fight against polio, and this latest campaign is part of its efforts to ensure that all children in the state are protected against the disease. The government has also been working to improve access to healthcare services and to strengthen the country's healthcare system.
It's great to see the Jigawa State Government taking proactive steps to protect the health and well-being of its citizens, especially children.
