In a continued drive to strengthen polio immunisation and close immunity gaps in Kano State, we collaborated with the State Ministry of Health to support In-Between Round Activities (IBRA), ensuring children under five are protected with the Novel Oral Polio Vaccine type 2 (nOPV2) and the Bivalent Oral Polio Vaccine (bOPV).
As part of this collaboration, our support focused on:
🔹 Providing technical expertise during State Training of Trainers across all 44 LGAs, building the capacity of supervisors to deliver quality campaigns.
🔹 Conducting supportive supervision, identifying gaps and recommending next steps to ensure standards are upheld and continuous improvements in subsequent rounds.
🔹 Engaging households to address non-compliance, overcome fears, dispel misinformation, and build trust in vaccines.
🔹 Strengthening service delivery and vaccine reach by providing real-time feedback to frontline health workers and ensuring data quality.
By working hand in hand with partners and communities, we are ensuring every child is reached and Nigeria remains firmly on course for a polio-free future.
