Speaking during the event in Awka, the Anambra state capital, the Executive Secretary, State Primary Health-care Development Agency, ASPHDA, Dr Chioma Ezenyimulu, said the week was set aside to reach out to children and pregnant Women for proper immunisation.
According to her, the day was also aimed at informing Nursing Mothers about the importance of immunisation during pregnancies and their children.
She added that the week was also to review the performances of the Health workers in all Primary Health Centres across the State and make amends.
The Executive Secretary who said that immunisation has helped to eradicate and reduce some child killer-diseases such as Polio, Malaria, Whooping Cough among others explained that immunisation helps to protect children as well as pregnant women from contracting deadly diseases.
Dr Ezenyimulu urged Nursing Mothers to always make their children available during immunisations, for a healthier living.
She promised that through her agency, Anambra State will continue to be free from these diseases while pregnant women will enjoy free immunisation.
“We must deny these groups the undue publicity they crave,” the minister said.
