On this day of love, our hearts naturally turn toward those we cherish most. We celebrate the bonds that define us—the laughter shared over a meal, the quiet support of a partner, and the protective embrace of a parent. But in Cross River State, love isn't just a feeling; it is a commitment to action.

As we reach Day 11 of our Integrated Measles and Rubella Vaccination Campaign, we are reminded that the greatest gift we can give our children today isn't found in a box or a bouquet. It is found in the simple, life-saving drop of a vaccine.

𝐏𝐮𝐭𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐎𝐮𝐫 "𝐏𝐞𝐨𝐩𝐥𝐞 𝐅𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭"

True leadership and true love share a common foundation: putting People First. This Valentine’s Day, we honor that mantra by prioritizing the health of our youngest citizens. By ensuring every child is vaccinated against Measles and Rubella, we are making a down payment on a healthier, more vibrant tomorrow. We don't just talk about care; we deliver it to every ward, every village, and every doorstep.

"𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐤 𝐂𝐫𝐨𝐬𝐬 𝐑𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫"

When we Think Cross River, we think of our future. We think of the doctors, teachers, and leaders of tomorrow who are currently toddlers playing in our streets. To think of our state is to realize that our collective prosperity depends on the physical well-being of our children. A healthy child is a child who can learn, grow, and eventually contribute to the greatness of the "People's Paradise."

"𝐎𝐧𝐞 𝐂𝐫𝐨𝐬𝐬 𝐑𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫, 𝐎𝐧𝐞 𝐋𝐨𝐯𝐞"

Ultimately, this campaign is the physical manifestation of One Cross River, One Love. Our love for our children transcends boundaries and unites us in a singular mission. Whether you are in the lush forests of Ikom, the urban centers of Calabar, or the hills of Obanliku, we are bound by one pulse and one goal: a Measles-free state.

This Valentine’s Day, let your love be their shield. Take your child to the nearest health center or vaccination post.

Because when we love, we protect. When we protect, we prevail.

As we reach the tenth day of the Measles-Rubella campaign, the finish line is finally in sight, marking a critical moment to close the gaps and ensure no child is left behind. To our dedicated frontline workers: your tireless efforts over these ten days have built a powerful shield of immunity around our community, serving as the vital bridge between the vaccine vial and the child. Every vaccination administered today is a future protected tomorrow, proving that our collective strength lies not in the infrastructure we build, but in the health of the children we protect. Let’s finish this mission strong, ensuring every eligible child is reached by sunset to secure a Measles-free and Rubella-free generation.

For parents and caregivers, today is your final chance to give your child a healthy start through this free, safe, and effective campaign. Immunization is a shared social responsibility, and by saying "yes" to this one shot, you are providing your child with double protection against life-altering complications. Don’t let your child be the gap that the virus finds; instead, join the thousands of families who have already united to stand against these diseases. Let’s prove that our community is committed to a healthier future by making Day 10 a resounding success.

The 2026 Measles-Rubella and HPV vaccination campaign in Cross River State stands as a landmark public health initiative, driven by the "People First" mandate to protect children from preventable disabilities.

This intensive 12-day drive is fueled by the exceptional proactiveness of Dr. Vivien Mesembe Otu, Director General of the CRSPHCDA, whose leadership has ensured that the campaign transcends mere medical routine. By prioritizing high-level stakeholder engagement and rigorous logistical planning, she has created a seamless bridge between the government’s health goals and the families residing in every corner of the state, from urban centers to the most remote riverine communities.

At the core of this success is the remarkable professionalism of the frontline health workers, whom Dr. Otu has meticulously trained and motivated. These teams are currently deployed across schools, markets, and churches, demonstrating a high level of proficiency and empathy in their service.

Under Dr. Otu's watchful guidance, these "health heroes" maintain a standard of excellence that ensures every child aged 9 months to 14 years receives safe, effective, and free protection. This coordinated effort not only secures the immediate health of the youth but also builds a lasting foundation for a disease-free future in Cross River State.
