Bauchi State has successfully concluded a large-scale immunisation campaign, vaccinating roughly 3.7 million children against measles and rubella as part of the 2025 Measles/Rubella vaccination programme.
The drive, which ended on Mondays, December 29, 2025, exceeded expectations, reaching more children than initially projected in the nine‑to‑59‑month age group.
Health teams employed a combination of fixed vaccination sites, mobile outreach units, and house‑to‑house visits to ensure children in both urban centres and remote villages were covered.
Community leaders and volunteers played a key role in promoting the campaign, raising awareness, and encouraging parents to participate.

Ibrahim Sani, spokesperson for the Bauchi State Primary Healthcare Development Board, described the campaign as a “remarkable achievement” that will help curb outbreaks of measles and rubella across the state.
The Bauchi exercise is part of Nigeria’s nationwide immunisation effort, launched in early October 2025, aimed at protecting millions of children from measles, rubella, polio, and other preventable diseases.
