The Katsina State Primary Health Care Agency (KSPHCA), with the support of United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF), has intensified community engagement efforts to address cases of Non-Compliance (NC) and Child Absent (CA) in a renewed push to improve routine immunisation coverage across the state.
The initiative follows the implementation of the Majalisa Rigakafi programme in the eight zero-dose implementing local government areas, where communities were mobilised to identify and vaccinate children who had never received routine vaccines.
This was revealed at a one-day orientation for the Majalisa Rigakafi members and local governments health educators on polio non-compliance, non-compliance resolution skills and data tools held at Classique Event Centre on Tuesday in Katsina.
