Kebbi, Sokoto, Zamfara highest with unimmunised children

Kebbi, Sokoto and Zamfara have been identified as states with the highest number of unimmunised and zero dose children in the country.

The Director, Public Health, Sokoto State Ministry of Health, Dr. Abdulrahaman Ahmed at a two-day Media Dialogue on Routine Immunisation and Zero Dose Reduction Campaign by UNICEF in collaboration with Primary Healthcare Development agencies of Kebbi, Sokoto and Zamfara states said the three states have been tagged as Areas of Intractable Transmission (AIT) as a result of the noncompliance of their public to accept Immunization for their children from birth.

He said there was a need for the media to reach out to parents in the communities to allow vaccines to be administered on their children.
