Adamawa to Vaccinate 130,000 Children Against Polio
Dr James Jacob Vassumu, the Director of Disease Control and Immunisation at the Adamawa State Primary Health Care Development Agency (ADSPHCDA), announced a polio vaccination campaign targeting 130,000 children in Gombi and Fufore Local Government Areas (LGAs). The vaccination will take place from November 5th to 12th, 2026, as part of the National Plus Days Immunization Campaign.
Vassumu explained that the decision to focus on these areas was based on the history of polio virus circulation, disease surveillance records, and immunisation coverage assessments. The campaign will specifically target children aged zero to 59 months, with an emphasis on those in hard-to-reach communities where routine immunisation coverage is insufficient.
This initiative aims to strengthen immunity in the targeted communities and combat the spread of polio.
