For effective immunization of child killer diseases in Nigeria, Nigerians have been urged to be ambassadors by preaching its importance in every nook and cranny of the country.
Executive Secretary, Kaduna State Primary Health Care Agency, Dr. Hadiza Balarebe who spoke through a director, Dr. Neyu Iliyasu on Thursday in Kaduna, northwest of Nigeria said the importance of vaccination should be made known to every Nigerian.
Observing the 2017 Africa Vaccination Week in Kaduna organized by Kaduna State Accountability Mechanism for Maternal Newborn and Child Health in collaboration with Kaduna State Primary Health Care Development Agency, she explained that time has come for all hands to be on deck to ensure the success of any health programme meant to ensure the general welfare of citizenry in the country.
She assured that the Kaduna State government was doing everything possible to free the state from any child killer disease, adding that all machineries have been put in place in all the three senatorial zones for effective coverage of all health related issues in the state.
The meeting which had traditional rulers, couples, youth organizations and other stakeholders in attendance discussed extensively on ways to ensure full coverage of the state in all immunization and other health related programmes.
With proper enlightenment, she noted that the desired goal would be achieved following the enthusiasm shown by participants and their readiness to contribute their quota to the success of government programmes meant for the general welfare of the people.
