The local government Chairman of Anaocha, Hon. Rome Ibekwe, has flagged off a comprehensive immunization program aimed at protecting children from vaccine-preventable diseases.
The Mayor while speaking at the launching held at the Anaocha LGA Secretariat, emphasized the importance of immunization in safeguarding children’s health.
Hon. Ibekwe urged parents to ensure their children are immunized, warning that failure to do so could lead to health complications in the future. He also issued a stern warning to schools, stating that any institution that refuses to allow health workers to immunize children would face sanctions, including possible closure.
In his remark, the Supervising Councilor for Health, Hon. Ekene Ezejelue, pledged to ensure the success of the immunization exercise.
Hon. Ezejelue commended the local government Chairman for his commitment to improving healthcare in Anaocha and assured him of his support in monitoring the exercise.
Angel Network News (ANN) reports that the Head of Primary Healthcare was also directed to ensure that the immunization process reaches all areas, leaving no child unimmunized.
