As we end #WorldImmunizationWeek today, let's look at the vaccines' role in protecting children's health.
In Nigeria, vaccines like Penta 3 have, over the years, played an essential role in safeguarding infants from diseases and promoting a healthier future.

Great to be in Nigeria🇳🇬 for the Ministerial Meeting on Malaria.
Looking forward to discussions on strengthening malaria control. Beating malaria is achievable with strong leadership and commitment.
World Health Organization (WHO) is committed to supporting countries in bolstering measures to end malaria.
From being declared wild polio-free to introducing HPV vaccines, Nigeria has made great strides to protect communities from vaccine-preventable disease.
But the work isn't done yet. By continuing to support vaccine programs, it's #HumanlyPossible to ensure immunization for all.
Although it is now the end of #AfricaVaccinationWeek , we at Gates Foundation remain steadfast in ensuring as much can be done to increase health programs across Nigeria.💉
There are still many “zero-dose” children in the country meaning more important work remains to be done. 💪
As we continue to mark #AfricaVaccinationWeek , let's tackle misinformation head-on.
Vaccines like HPV offer lifesaving protection against cervical cancer. Let's ensure accurate information reaches every community, dispelling myths and safeguarding health.
