Polio Immunization

The first phase of polio antivirus vaccination started on May 31, 2005 across the capital runs smoothly. Commenced at 8 a.m., parents positively responded the polio antivirus drive by taking their under five-year-old children to the polio posts. The vaccinated children were then marked with blue ink on their fingers as a way to be easily recognized by official after the immunization. Parents ignoring the polio drive is reported to be sanctioned and that is why officials conduct a sweeping. Meanwhile, the head of Commision E of City Council, Dani Anwar, said on the sidelines of his visit to some polio posts said that polio post shortages existed as the City Health Agency recommended that one post at three RT (neighborhood units).
