(1.0) THE CONCEPT
Imo State has been in the limelight for insecurity in recent times. All 27 LGAs are prone to different and varying degrees of security concerns, ranging from kidnapping for ransom, cult and political killings, to selective killing of healthcare workers.
In Orlu and Orsu LGAs, all government presence and vaccination interventions are considered taboo/sacrilegious and any attempt to promote government-led activities are fatally resisted. Health Facilities are razed and vaccines are carried in sacks and concealed for use. The LGAs authority, with its limited funding, conveys eligible persons to travel out of the two LGAs to assess health care services including COVID-19-vaccine.
M-RITE conducted a zero-dose analysis for COVID-19 in Imo state, and the results show only 21% and 16% of eligible persons were vaccinated in Orlu and Orsu LGAs respectively. M-RITE plans to support the Orlu and Orsu government health authorities with car rentals as needed to complement the 2 LGAs to transport eligible populations to nearby LGAs to access COVID-19 vaccinations.
Expected results: Between 100,000 to 150,000 zero dose eligible persons vaccinated for COVID-19 in Orlu and Orsu LGAs, this will contribute to a sharp increase in the COVID-19 coverage in Imo state by an additional 15%. Imo will then edge closer to achieving 70% of the national target by March 2023.
