Nutritional supplements boost vaccine uptake in northern Nigeria trial
Original: In northern Nigeria, a clinical trial finds pairing jabs with nutritional supplements boosts uptake
A clinical trial in northern Nigeria has found that pairing routine vaccinations with nutritional supplements significantly increases vaccine uptake among children. Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance, highlighted the findings, which suggest integrating health services could help overcome hesitancy and access barriers in the region, where childhood immunisation coverage has historically lagged behind the rest of Nigeria.
Why now: The findings offer a promising, low-cost strategy to raise childhood immunisation rates in a region with persistent coverage gaps.
