As part of our ongoing efforts to enhance immunization coverage in Kiboga district.
HEPS Uganda, together with a team of health workers from EPI Health Centre II, Kapeke sub-county, conducted an integrated immunization outreach at Kirinda trading centre.
The outreach, supported by the Leave No One Behind project, aims to reduce the number of zero-dose and under-immunized children in the community.
During the outreach, the Health Centre In-Charge, Juliet, emphasized the importance of completing the full immunization schedule for children, highlighting the need to prevent outbreaks of vaccine-preventable diseases.
She expressed concern over the low turnout for the third and fourth doses of #malaria vaccines and the second dose of #measles vaccine, urging mothers to ensure their children receive all necessary doses to build immunity.
The #LENOBI_PROJECT, #MOH_UNEPI continue to intensify community sensitization efforts to increase immunization service uptake, protect children from vaccine-preventable diseases, and promote awareness and mobilize parents to take advantage of vaccination services, including integration of services such as ANC and family planning.
