The target is between the ages of 0 to 5 and women of child bearing age of 15 to 45 in NCD.

UNICEF says this is because the number has increased in the last 10 years. 

The last 10 years was when NCDC Health Services ceased its mobile clinic operations as well.

NCDC Health Services staff says this is purely to do with funding constraints.

While vaccinating children and women yesterday at Tatana village, health officers say such vaccination exercises in the past were conducted annually to ensure all children were immunised.

In a statement released , UNICEF said children are still in shock and suffering significant trauma and stress which could have negative consequences to their long-term well-being.

According to UNCEF PNG, children are still being confronted by fear, loss, confusion, family separation, deteriorated living conditions and disruption of social and school activities.

They raised the concern that psychological damage among children should not be overlooked as it can have a negative impact on children’s brain development, mental health and overall wellbeing in the long-run.

The figures, released during World Immunization Week, make UNICEF the largest buyer of vaccines for children in the world.

Nigeria, Pakistan and Afghanistan, the three remaining polio-endemic countries, each received more doses of vaccines than any other country, with almost 450 million doses of vaccines procured to children in Nigeria, 395 million in Pakistan and over 150 million in Afghanistan. UNICEF is the lead procurement agency for the Global Polio Eradication Initiative.
