The Chadian Government with the support of United Nations agencies launched a three-day campaign to eradicate polio, boost vitamin A and de-worm four million children under the age of five.
“The combined immunization campaign constitutes an important step forward for Chad in its agenda to accelerate child survival and development,” said Bruno Maes, the Representative in Chad for the UN Children’s Fund.
The government has mobilized more than 9,600 additional community workers across the country to ensure that all targeted children are reached, according to a UNICEF press release.
However, there are still a significant number of unvaccinated or missed children during campaigns. “This is a concern in 8 of the 19 regions where the proportion of unvaccinated children has increased during supplementary immunization activities,” he said.
