Targeting the last polio sanctuaries with Directly Observed Oral Polio Vaccination (Dopv) in northern Nigeria, (2014–2016)
Directly observed polio vaccination strategy improved uptake of polio vaccines and population immunity in high-risk areas for polio transmission
Impact of engaging security personnel on access and polio immunization outcomes in security-inaccessible areas in Borno state, Nigeria
The engagement of security personnel in immunization activities led to an improved access and improvement in postcampaign evaluation indicators in security-compromised areas of a Nigerian state. This approach promises to be an impactful innovation in reaching settlements in security-compromised areas
The role of supportive supervision using mobile technology in monitoring and guiding program performance
The use of handheld devices for supportive supervision provided real-time data from health facilities to state and zonal levels for analysis and feedback. Program officers used the findings to rectify process indicators in time for a better outcome
Assessment of unmet needs to address noncompliant households during polio supplemental immunization activities in Kaduna state, 2014–2016
Unmet needs interventions were effective in reducing the number of noncompliant households recorded during SIA rounds in Kaduna State. Hence, unmet needs intervention could be adapted at all levels to address challenges faced in other primary healthcare programs in Nigeria
Conduct of vaccination in hard-to-reach areas to address potential polio reservoir areas, 2014–2015
The hard-to-reach project has improved population immunity against polio, as well as other routine vaccinations and delivery of child health survival interventions in the hard-to-reach and underserved communities
Towards an effective poliovirus laboratory containment strategy in Nigeria
This article is amongst the first in Africa that relates poliovirus laboratory containment in the context of the tOPV-bOPV switch in alignment with the Global Action Plan III. All identified infectious materials were destroyed and personnel trained to continue to destroy subsequent materials, a process that needs meticulous monitoring to mitigate the risk of poliovirus re-introduction to the population
Stopping circulatory vaccine-derived poliovirus in Kaduna state by scaling up special interventions in local government areas along rivers of interest- kamacha basin experience, 2013–2015
Scaling up known working interventions in the 10 LGAs with tributaries that drain to Kamacha River environmental sample site may have contributed to improved immunity and interruption of cVDPV in Kaduna state. These interventions should be replicated in LGAs and states with persistent poliovirus isolation
