The Adamawa State Government has announced a new polio vaccination campaign aimed at reaching more than 1.3 million children across the state. The initiative seeks to ensure that children under the age of five are protected from the deadly disease.

Health officials revealed that the vaccination drive will be conducted in all local government areas, with trained health workers going door-to-door to administer the polio vaccine. Parents are urged to cooperate fully to safeguard their children’s health.

The state government also emphasized the importance of maintaining proper hygiene and routine immunization to prevent the spread of polio and other preventable diseases. Officials assured the public that the vaccines are safe and free of charge.

This vaccination campaign forms part of the ongoing efforts by Nigeria’s health authorities to eliminate polio from the country. Adamawa remains committed to protecting its children and promoting public health across all communities.
