Mu’azu emphasized that the outbreak has raised concerns in Jigawa, given its proximity to Kano and Yobe states. Consequently, the state ministry is prioritizing vigilance and intensifying efforts to tackle the emerging health crisis.
He also highlighted that the ministry has collected essential data and information from the affected regions, promptly notifying the National Primary Healthcare Development Agency (NPHDA) and the National Disease Control (NDC) for necessary follow-up actions.
Regarding vaccinations, the state government’s permanent secretary stated that preparations are underway for the administration of vaccines as soon as they become available. He attributed the outbreak to healthcare service disruptions during the COVID-19 pandemic, which led to the suspension of crucial immunization efforts.
It’s worth noting that neighboring Kano State accounts for a significant portion, approximately 80 percent, of the diphtheria cases, according to a UNICEF report.
