The Nigerian government has significantly increased its budgetary allocation for immunisation programmes and services in the 2024 proposed budget.
A review of the 2024 budget, tagged ‘Budget of Renewed Hope’, shows that about N137 billion was allocated to immunisation programmes including counterpart funding, procurement of Routine Immunisation (RI) vaccines, devices, operational cost, and distribution among others.
This allocation marks about a 100 per cent increase from the N69 billion allocated to immunisation programmes in 2023.
