UNICEF, WHO and GAVI went to Siguiri on 8 September to join the Ministry of Health in launching the first round of National Polio Immunization Campaign (Round 0) in Guinea. The first round (Round 0) of this immunization campaign targets children aged 0-59 months, an estimated 582,159 children in the Siguiri health district, as well as in the 4 neighboring districts of Siguiri, including 3 in the Kankan region (Mandiana, Kouroussa, Kankan) and 1 district in the Faranah region (Dinguiraye).
In Siguiri, Dr. Mamadou Péthé Diallo, Minister of Health, and UNICEF symbolically vaccinated a few children in front of communities and the media, officially launching the national immunization campaigns and urging parents to have their children immunized against polio, while reminding them that the vaccine is free, safe and effective.
UNICEF in Guinea participates in the implementation of immunization campaigns, supports routine immunization activities and health services, provides vaccines and logistical support to ensure that vaccines reach all children, even in the most remote areas, and supports awareness raising and community mobilization.
The second round (Round 1) is scheduled for September 22-25, 2023 and will include all 38 health districts in Guinea. The third round (Round 2) is scheduled for October 20-23, 2023, and will also include all 38 health districts in Guinea. To address the intense circulation of the virus in the West Africa region, the next two rounds of this polio immunization campaign will be synchronized with other countries in the sub-region, particularly Burkina Faso, Côte d'Ivoire, and Mali, to ensure adequate coverage of populations living at the borders of these countries.
