National Immunization Campaign to Target Eight Million Children

Starting tomorrow, a week-long National Immunization Campaign is set to kick off in twenty-five districts of Sindh and thirteen districts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. The campaign aims to administer anti-polio vaccines to approximately eight million children under the age of five.

The decision to launch this extensive immunization effort comes as part of ongoing efforts to eradicate polio from Pakistan. The meeting held to discuss the campaign highlighted the importance of reaching a large number of children to ensure widespread protection against the disease.

Health officials and volunteers will work tirelessly to ensure that every eligible child receives the necessary vaccine during the week-long campaign. The success of this initiative will play a crucial role in safeguarding the health of young children and preventing the spread of polio in the region.

The National Immunization Campaign in Sindh and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa represents a significant step towards achieving the goal of a polio-free Pakistan. By prioritizing the health and well-being of children through targeted vaccination efforts, the authorities aim to create a safer and healthier future for the younger generation.
