Lagos Immunises 100,000 Previously Unvaccinated Children in Major Health Campaign
Health authorities in Lagos have announced that 100,000 previously unvaccinated children have now been immunised through an intensified public health campaign.
The initiative forms part of broader efforts aimed at improving child healthcare, increasing vaccination coverage, and protecting communities against preventable diseases.
Officials explained that the campaign targeted children who had either missed routine immunisation schedules or lacked access to essential healthcare services.
The achievement has been praised by healthcare stakeholders and members of the public, with many describing it as a significant step toward strengthening child health and disease prevention in the state.
Vaccination campaigns remain critical in preventing outbreaks of infectious diseases and improving long-term public health outcomes, especially among vulnerable children.
Health experts continue to encourage parents and guardians to ensure children receive recommended immunisations according to approved medical schedules.
The development also reflects ongoing efforts by government agencies, healthcare workers, and international partners to improve healthcare delivery and public awareness across communities.
As the campaign progresses, authorities are expected to continue sensitisation programmes aimed at increasing trust in vaccines and expanding access to routine immunisation services.
