LAHORE:Chief Minister Punjab Sardar Usman Buzdar on Friday inaugurated the provincial anti-polio drive at his office by administering anti-polio drops to the children.

A squad of one lakh and twenty thousand polio workers will administer drops to 20 million children of two to five years of age in 36 districts during the five-day-long campaign starting from March 29.

Talking on the occasion, the CM said a 100 per cent vaccination target will be achieved to completely overcome polio. Anti-corona SoPs will also be followed by polio workers visiting every knock and corner to achieve the targets, he said. The DCs and ACs should work hard to achieve the targets and children from other provinces should also be administered this vaccine, he added and asked the parliamentarians to play their role because the government is striving hard to make Punjab a polio-free province. Health Minister Dr Yasmin Rashid also administered anti-polio drops.
