The National Emergency Routine Immunization Coordination Centre (NERICC) was established after a state of public health concern was made on routine immunization on June 17th by the ED NPHCDA and partners. The centre was inaugurated on 4th of July 2017, with the objectives to; ​

• Improve detection and responsiveness in the resolution of RI gaps.
• Strengthen leadership and accountability.
• Strengthen coordination.
• Increase data visibility, quality and use for action at all levels.
• Increase fixed and outreach services for immunization for traditional vaccines especially in the very low performing states.
