PublishedJust 354 days after being declared polio-free, the United Nations Children’s Fund, on Saturday, confirmed that cases of vaccine-derived poliovirus were recorded in 12 Nigerian states, saying it was supporting the country by procuring vaccines.

Adams said, “The current circulating poliovirus is the type 2 virus and a vaccine-derived outbreak. Currently, it is spreading and we have cases in 12 states. Please, note every year, we have a number of vaccine-derived cases of polio and this is not the first time. “It is important we ensure an integrated response to all challenges so that we will continue the response of coronavirus, cholera and polio together. It can be managed by making sure we quickly immunise all children under five years.

According to him, UNICEF has continued to ensure the availability of vaccines globally and will continue to do so in Nigeria, while strategising with GAVI and the government on ways to improve routine immunisation to effectively improve on child survival.
