Mozambique vaccinated more than 19 million children aged 0 to 10 against polio from June 2 to 6, exceeding the target set, health authorities announced on Monday (June 16), with another vaccination phase planned for July 2025.
According to Quinhas Fernandes, national director of Public Health, all polio vaccination campaigns are evaluated by teams independent of the sector, through the Lot Quality Assessment System (LQAS). Through this method, at the end of the campaign, using a random sample of 60 children per district, if there are more than three unvaccinated, it means that the district, from an epidemiological point of view, is not well covered.
