Over 77,495 children immunised against polio in Kogi

A recent immunization campaign has successfully vaccinated over 77,495 children against polio. This is a significant milestone in the fight against polio, a highly infectious disease that can cause paralysis and even death.

It's worth noting that Nigeria has been working hard to eradicate polio, with the support of global health organizations. However, there have been challenges in the past, including a boycott of the polio vaccine in some northern states in 2003 due to rumors and misconceptions about the vaccine's safety and effectiveness.

Fortunately, efforts to educate the public and build trust in the vaccine have been successful, leading to increased vaccination rates and a decrease in polio cases. The recent immunization campaign in Kogi State is a testament to these efforts and a step towards a polio-free Nigeria.
