Immunization Week 2022 at Chikakore Community Abuja

World Immunization Week 2022-Long Life for All

Leave a Comment / cfhinitiative

In commemoration of World Immunization Week, Centre for Family Health Initiative has been in Chikakore community, Abuja, speaking with community stakeholders, religious leaders, and mothers about the importance of vaccine in achieving a healthy society. This is because, according to report, the community dwellers’ response to vaccination has been very poor. Hence, the need for sensitization and vaccination of infants.

During the community stakeholders’ meetings, some participants mentioned the use of herbs in the community in preventing diseases, as part of the reasons for not embracing immunization. Others said it is due to side effects resulting from vaccines intake. However, at the end, all participants pledged to support and promote immunization in Chikakore community, Abuja.

We believe that behavioural change is achievable when there is access to the right information. All eligible infants are being vaccinated and all malnourished children are provided access to care.
