Somalia has made important progress in reaching zero-dose children, but continued #polio transmission and measles and diphtheria outbreaks demand urgent action.
The upcoming polio campaigns, alongside targeted efforts to close immunity gaps and strengthen routine immunization, are critical.
Strong government leadership, sustained domestic financing and accountability will be key to protecting every child.

Strong government leadership is essential to protecting #Somalia's children from polio and other vaccine-preventable diseases.
At last week's high-level meeting, H.E. Prime Minister @HamzaAbdiBarre reaffirmed Somalia's commitment to ending polio, reaching zero-dose children and mmunization.
WHO and partners stand with Somalia to turn these commitments into action through quality vaccination campaigns, stronger immunization services and accountability at every level.
