The Lagos State Government has said no fewer than 18 million residents are expected to be vaccinated for preventable diseases under its Non-Polio Supplemental Immunisation scheduled to start on Saturday.
The Supervising Permanent Secretary of the Lagos State Primary Healthcare Board (LSPHCB), Abimbola Bowale, disclosed this while speaking to journalists at a Media Orientation on Non-Polio Supplemental Immunisation.
The media orientation, which was held on Monday, was organised by the state’s Ministry of Information and Strategy as a way of increasing awareness on the forthcoming vaccination.
