Nigeria has over 2 million zero-dose children, among the highest globally. Many live in rural and conflict-affected areas where healthcare access is limited. This project will reach 5,000 unvaccinated children with lifesaving vaccines, protecting them from preventable diseases. Timely action is needed as outbreaks of measles and polio continue to spread, leaving unprotected children at serious risk.
Nigeria has the second-largest number of zero-dose children in the world, leaving millions at risk of preventable diseases. Poverty, conflict, weak infrastructure, and lack of awareness prevent families from accessing vaccination services. Recent outbreaks of measles and polio highlight the urgent need to close this gap. Without action, thousands of children will continue to face illness, disability, and early death from diseases that can be prevented.
Mobile vaccination teams will be deployed to rural and underserved areas to identify and reach zero-dose children. Each child will receive lifesaving vaccines such as measles, polio, and diphtheria, recorded with vaccination cards to track progress. Trained health workers will carry vaccines using cold-chain storage to maintain safety. With this model, the project will reach 5,000 children who would otherwise remain unprotected.
By reaching zero-dose children today, this project will reduce the spread of preventable diseases and lower the likelihood of outbreaks in the future. Vaccinated children are more likely to survive, stay healthy, and attend school. Communities with higher vaccination coverage face fewer health emergencies, reducing the burden on families and the healthcare system. The benefits extend beyond the individual child, creating safer environments for entire communities.
