The three-day national immunisation campaign against polio, during which 17.3 million children up to five years of age will be administered anti-polio drops all over the province, will start from Monday (today).
The Health Department had constituted more than 38,000 teams to achieve the target, a spokesman said on Sunday, adding that 32,000 mobile teams consisting of two to three people will visit door-to-door for administering polio drops.

The Health Department spokesman further disclosed that polio vaccination facilities had also been provided in all public sector hospitals, health centres and dispensaries. The spokesman appealed to parents, religious leaders, civil society members, NGOs
staff and public representatives to play their role in this national cause, so that our younger generation could be protected from permanent disability and we could achieve the goal of eradicating the menace of polio from the country.
