WHO To Vaccinate 40,000 Children in Gaza Amid Ceasefire

The World Health Organization (WHO) announced its plan to vaccinate over 40,000 children in Gaza as a ceasefire allows intensified humanitarian operations. In phase one of the campaign, more than 10,000 children under age three were vaccinated against measles, mumps, rubella, diphtheria, tetanus, whooping cough, hepatitis B, tuberculosis, polio, rotavirus, and pneumonia. Phase one, which started November 9, is being extended; phases two and three are expected in December and January, jointly run with UNICEF, UNRWA, and Gaza authorities. WHO chief Tedros Ghebreyesus said the truce enables expanded health services and vital reconstruction for Gaza’s devastated health system. The UN Security Council recently endorsed the ceasefire plan, brokered by US President Donald Trump, following two years of hostilities that claimed thousands of lives, with over half the deaths in Gaza reported as women and minors.

Togo : campagne nationale contre la rougeole et la rubéole

Le Togo lancera, du 24 au 30 novembre 2025, une campagne nationale de vaccination contre la rougeole et la rubéole. L’opération couvrira l’ensemble du territoire et visera les enfants âgés d’au moins neuf mois, conformément à l’objectif national d’élimination de ces maladies d’ici 2030. L’annonce a été faite par la direction régionale de la santé du Grand Lomé lors d’une rencontre d’information tenue le jeudi 13 novembre, destinée à mobiliser les acteurs communautaires et renforcer la sensibilisation des familles. Selon la directrice régionale, Dr Tchilalou Maryse Tagba-Pelei, la rougeole demeure une maladie virale extrêmement contagieuse pouvant provoquer des complications sévères. Elle rappelle également que la rubéole constitue une menace sérieuse pour les femmes enceintes, en raison des risques de malformations congénitales chez le fœtus. La campagne inclura, en plus de la vaccination, des interventions complémentaires pour les enfants, notamment l’administration […]

Kaduna Launches Drive to Immunize 4.2 Million Children

The Kaduna State Primary Health Care Board has begun an integrated measles and rubella vaccination campaign aimed at protecting over 4.2 million children across the state. The exercise, which started on Saturday, covers all 23 local government areas and targets children aged between nine months and 14 years. It is supported by UNICEF, the World Health Organisation (WHO), and other development partners. Speaking at the launch, Dr. Hamza Ibrahim, Director of Disease Control and Immunisation, said the campaign will help reduce the number of “zero-dose” children — those who have never received any vaccination. Kaduna State, he noted, accounts for around 10 percent of the 100 local government areas in Nigeria facing this challenge, with over 4,000 unvaccinated children identified. “Our progress has been made possible through the dedication of community women and the support of our partners,” Ibrahim said.

Nigeria cuts polio cases by 46% – NPHCDA

Nigeria has recorded a 46 percent decline in variant poliovirus cases compared to last year, according to the National Primary Healthcare Development Agency (NPHCDA). The announcement was made in Abuja on Tuesday during the second-quarter review meeting of the Northern Traditional Leaders Committee (NTLC) on Primary Health Care Delivery. The meeting was chaired by the Emir of Argungu, Alhaji Sa’Maila Muhammad Mera. Polio, a highly contagious viral disease, mainly affects children under five and can cause paralysis or death. It spreads through contaminated food, water, or direct contact but can be prevented entirely through vaccination. In his opening remarks, Emir Mera urged traditional rulers to sustain their commitment to ending variant poliovirus (cVPV2), stressing that the final phase of eradication is often the toughest. He also called on leaders to address low acceptance of other vaccines such as HPV and […]

Sultan tasks rulers on polio fight, insecurity

The Sultan of Sokoto, Alhaji Sa’ad Abubakar III, has urged traditional rulers across Nigeria to remain committed to the fight against polio, routine immunisation, and other health challenges while also helping to tackle insecurity. He made the call in Abuja on Tuesday at the second quarterly review meeting of the Northern Traditional Leaders Committee (NTLC) on Primary Health Care Delivery. The Sultan praised the committee for its achievements over the past 16 years, particularly in mobilising communities for vaccination campaigns. He noted that traditional rulers have played a key role in boosting vaccination coverage by over 25 per cent in many areas. “As patron of the NTLC, I commend the federal and state governments for entrusting traditional leaders with the responsibility of selecting and supervising vaccinators,” he said. The Sultan stressed that improving health outcomes required not only drugs but […]
