“It Is A Crime To Fail In Child Immunisation.”

DAILY LAW TIPS by Onyekachi Umah,Esq.(Tip 243)

“IT IS A CRIME TO FAIL IN CHILD
IMMUNISATION.”

Every parent/guardian with custody of a child in Nigeria,
irrespective of tribe, religion and wealth must provide full
immunisation for such child under the age of 2 years.
Failure to do so, is an offence punishable with a fine not
exceeding #5, 000 Naira for first time offenders but imprisonment
for not more than 1 month for second time or more offenders and
also an order that such child be immunised.

My authorities are sections 4, 5, and 278 of Child’s Rights Act,
2003.
