This was revealed at a one-day orientation for the Majalisa Rigakafi members and local governments health educators on polio non-compliance, non-compliance resolution skills and data tools held at Classique Event Centre on Tuesday in Katsina. He explained that the Majalisa Rigakafi, a community engagement programme supported by UNICEF and implemented in the eight local governments, had improved routine immunisation coverage and reduced the number of zero-dose children. “Of these, 2,698 were referred to health facilities for immunisation, while 2,069 successfully received their missed vaccine doses,” the health educator said. Mahmud noted that the sustained community engagement strategy is expected to further strengthen public confidence in vaccination, improve caregivers’ participation in routine immunisation, and ensure that every eligible child receives life-saving vaccines. He reaffirmed KSPHCA’s commitment to working assiduously with UNICEF and other partners to eliminate zero-dose children in the state through continuous community mobilisation and improved tracking of unvaccinated children in the state.
