Mozambique confirmed a case of wild poliovirus in May 2022 – the first of its kind since 1992 – prompting a public health emergency response that includes a nationwide vaccination campaign. Nearly 15000 vaccinators were mobilized and trained by the World Health Organization. In Niassa province alone, over 100 vaccinators were deployed to markets, schools, churches and houses to ensure no child was left behind. The Global Polio Eradication Initiative is supporting actions at country level to ensure all eligible children are vaccinated. #who #africa #west #westafrica #polio #community #health #vaccine #vaccination
