Islamabad September 21 (Online Int’l): A five-day nation-wide polio eradication campaign began on Monday.
As many as 40 million children below five years age will be administered anti-polio vaccine across the country. This is the first nationwide campaign in the country after its four-month suspension due to the COVID19 outbreak.
The scope of this campaign is much larger and seeks to vaccinate all children under the age of five through door-to-door visits by almost 270,000 vaccinators all over the country. The polio vaccinators have received comprehensive training on how to vaccinate children safely within the COVID19 context.
The polio eradication programme has put strict measures in place for all staff following the Government’s set guidelines on COVID19 preventative measures.
