Flagging the campaign today in Government House, Dr. Balarabe said the SCALES 3.0 campaign is KDSG’s next iteration of covid 19 vaccination for all eligible residents of the state.
She explained that It is an initiative of the National Primary Health Care Development Agency (NPHCDA) adopted by Kaduna State; and it is aimed at not only the acceleration of COVID-19 vaccination but also ensuring that the vaccination is adequately integrated with other Primary Healthcare interventions and public healthcare services across the State.
“The SCALES 3.0 campaign, is a strategy designed for implementation within a duration of three months, using mobile special teams to take vaccination to our resident’s doorsteps, in addition to integrating it to our facility-based services.
She further stated that Kaduna State had a significant increase in the number of COVID-19 cases,recording a total of 140 new positive cases in the last four weeks.
“Thankfully, the fatality has not changed for the worse. These new cases emerged after a prolonged period of decline attributed to the measures that have been put in place, including fully vaccinating 54% of the eligible residents in Kaduna state.
