In October 2025, Nigeria conducted an integrated health campaign that reached over 106 million children with measles, rubella, polio, and other essential interventions. This effort, described as the largest ever such campaign, aimed to close the gap on polio eradication by combining multiple health services.
The campaign was part of Nigeria's strategy to integrate health services for greater efficiency and impact. By delivering multiple vaccines and interventions simultaneously, the country sought to maximize coverage and reduce missed opportunities for immunization.
Quality was maintained alongside scale, with careful planning and execution to ensure that each child received the necessary vaccines and health services. The campaign also included other essential interventions, such as vitamin A supplementation and deworming, to address broader health needs.
This integrated approach is seen as a model for other countries facing similar challenges in reaching every child with life-saving vaccines. Nigeria's success demonstrates that large-scale, integrated campaigns can be effective in accelerating progress toward global health goals, including polio eradication.
