Dear Parents and Caregivers,

Protect your child by following the routine immunization schedule (see attached).

Nigeria has now introduced the Measles-Rubella (MR) vaccine to further protect children from measles and rubella — diseases that can cause serious illness and lifelong complications.

Please check your child’s immunization card and ensure they receive their vaccines at the right time.

All routine vaccines are safe, effective, and FREE at government health facilities.

Let’s keep our children protected. Don’t miss an appointment. 💙
