In a statement published on its site on Thursday, UNICEF Executive Director, Henrietta Fore said the COVID-19 pandemic is overstretching health services as health workers are diverted to support the response. “Flight cancellations and trade restrictions by countries have severely constrained access to essential medicines, including vaccines,” she added.According to Ms Fore, critical life-saving services like immunizstion will likely be disrupted as the pandemic progresses.

“At the greatest risk are children from the poorest families in countries affected by conflicts and natural disasters. “The message is clear: We must not allow lifesaving health interventions to fall victim to our efforts to address COVID-19,” she said.She urged all countries to begin rigorous planning on how to intensify immunisation activities once the COVID -19 pandemic is under control
