 In a significant move to enhance routine immunization efforts, the Mayor of Awka South Local Government Area, Prince Chindu Okafor has inaugurated an Immunization Task Force aimed at strengthening campaign exercises at the grassroots level.


Speaking at the inauguration ceremony held at the Awka South Headquarters podium, Prince Okafor urged the newly appointed task force to ensure effective leadership coordination in advancing routine immunization campaigns. He emphasized the importance of quality immunization efforts in eradicating polio and other vaccine-preventable diseases across communities in Awka South.


"The prudent management of funds for the task ahead will be crucial to the success of this initiative. I urge the team to recruit competent personnel who will help drive mobilization efforts for immunization campaigns in the target areas," the Mayor stated.


The Director of Awka South Healthcare Services, Dr. Ngozi Okeke expressed gratitude to Mayor Okafor and the Anambra State Ministry of Health for their unwavering support in achieving this milestone. She highlighted the significance of the National Immunization Drug Days (NIDDs) flag-off, stressing its role in promoting child healthcare.

The exercise will conclude on May 6, with the task force overseeing mobilization, implementation, and monitoring activities at the grassroots level.
