Anti-polio campaign of varying durations launched in 79 selected districts of the country

The anti-polio campaign has started today in 79 districts of the country, aiming to vaccinate approximately 19 million children under the age of five.

The National Emergency Operations Centre is leading this important health mission, urging parents to actively participate in safeguarding their children’s health by getting them vaccinated against polio.

This campaign represents a significant effort to tackle the persistent threat of polio, which remains a danger to young children. Health department teams are working diligently to reach every household and ensure complete coverage.

Parents are encouraged to cooperate with health workers so that the vaccination process can be smooth and effective. The duration of the campaign varies by district, aiming to maximize impact and reach all targeted children.

Increasing public awareness and participation is crucial for the success of this initiative, which strives to eradicate polio and protect future generations from its debilitating effects.
