Closing immunization gaps in Kebbi.
POISED is a childhood immunization initiative designed to increase vaccine coverage among zero-dose and under-immunized children across Northern Nigeria, particularly in fragile, underserved and conflict-affected communities of Kebbi State.

It also strengthens surveillance mechanisms that support early detection and response to vaccine-preventable diseases.
