How one Nigerian state has boosted measles vaccinations
The United Nations is warning that millions of children going without vaccinations is a ticking time bomb which could result in increasing measles outbreaks.
However, in the rural northern Nigerian state of Jigawa, a UK aid funded vaccination campaign is now making a startling difference. The rate of immunisations there has jumped from 2% in 2017 to 92% this year.
Dr Kabir Aliyu led the campaign and explains how they managed to make such progress.
