VACCINATIONS

​

In Nigeria, vaccinations for children under five are free. Doctors have a list of the types of vaccine and what age the child should be when they get the vaccine. A parent should also have a vaccine card for each child.  This is because some vaccines only need to be given once. Other vaccines need to be given several times or a person will not be protected. Having a card helps the doctor know what vaccines a person is missing, and which they already have.

If the doctor refuses to give free vaccines to a child, come talk to a JEI paralegal.

 

The Federal Government of Nigeria recommends the following Vaccination Schedule for infants:
