Polio vaccination campaign restarts in Balochistan

The three-day anti-polio vaccination campaign resumed across Balochistan on Monday amidst tight security. The campaign had been suspended due to a poor law and order situation across the province. During the polio immunisation drive held between April 15 to April 17, health workers and volunteers would administer polio vaccine drops to children under five in 30 districts of Balochistan. Talking to repoters, Dr Anwar said that at least 1.5 million children would be vaccinated against the crippling disease of poliomyelitis during the campaign. He said that vaccine had already been provided to the concerned authorities in 30 districts of the province.
