Why The Measles Vaccine Matters For Every Nigerian Child

Nigeria Daily

About this episode

The Nigerian government and health care workers have been on a mission to vaccinate children against deadly diseases like measles. Where health care teams go door-to-door, tirelessly working to protect children from this preventable illness.

Yet, some Nigerian parents are hesitant, even refusing these vaccines, fearing that the health workers administering them are unprofessional or not qualified enough.

Why is this happening? And what does it mean for the health of these communities—and the nation at large?

Join us on this episode as we explore the significance of the measles vaccine, particularly as dedicated health care workers move from community to community in Nigeria.
