As Nigerian Children Remain Vulnerable To Vaccine Preventable Diseases

The recurring outbreaks of childhood diseases have continued to threaten the lives of many Nigerian children as they remain vulnerable to these vaccine preventable diseases.

The United Nations Children‘s Fund (UNICEF) says that every year, vaccines save an estimated two  to three million lives.

However, in Nigeria, these diseases continue to claim the lives of many children  and push families into poverty due to out of pocket expenditure.
