MSF said over recent years, more than 600,000 people have been displaced from their homes in northwest Nigeria as a result of extreme violence, deteriorating economic conditions, and climate change.
WHO commends the Nigerian Government on its sundry interventions to reduce the prevalence of vaccine-derived poliovirus, while guarding against importation or resurgence of the wild poliovirus.
The $9.2 million is to help the country scale-up COVID-19 vaccine service delivery, particularly to the most vulnerable and unreached. Fifteen states will benefit from the grant.
