Hello Svetha. As someone working in Northeast Nigeria, I sincerely appreciate you and your team for the efforts being made to improve immunization uptake in Nigeria.

However, I have a few concerns and questions:

1. How do you ensure that children are not over-vaccinated? I have heard reports of some caregivers presenting the same child at two or three different immunization clinics, which could potentially lead to duplicate vaccinations.

2. What strategies are being used to address missed opportunities for vaccination? As someone working in the field of malnutrition, I am particularly interested in understanding how newer initiatives are handling children who missed their routine immunization schedules, especially those older than 2 years.

Thank you once again for your dedication and impact in the field.
