As part of their dedication to ensure every child is immunised, the Zero Dose Learning Hub (ZDLH) has appealed to mother’s and caregivers in Sokoto State to always prioritise children immunisation.
Making the appeal in a signed press release as part of their commitment to the ongoing International Women Day’s celebration, the ZDLH State Focal Person, Mr Umar Garba Kadi, said vaccines are safe and protect children from preventable diseases.
Mr Kadi, who also appreciated the Sokoto State government for it’s support to ensuring meeting a zero dose, however, appealed for more commitment and support to make immunisation more appealing and accessible especially for parents and caregivers at the rural areas.
“The observance of the International Women Day, is draw attention to the importance of women and the critical roles they play generally. And in line with that, we want to also use the avenue to send a reminder of the importance of prioritizing our children’s health.
“We therefore, urge all mothers and caregivers to ensure their children receive all recommended vaccines,” Kadi advised.
Talking on the mission of the ZDLH, the focal person re-affirmed that it is dedicated to advocating for health budget transparency and sustainability and ensuring all children receive lifesaving vaccinations.
