Since February 10 of this year, there has been no new polio case, which shows all provinces,k including Punjab. are working hard to stop polio, a disease that can harm children. The Emergency Operations Centre for Polio Eradication is starting a big seven-day campaign on April 21. This plan aims to give polio drops to over 23 million kids under five years old. More than 200,000 workers will help visit homes across the province.
\nEarlier this year, in February, Punjab did a great job, reaching 99 percent of kids with polio vaccines. This success shows Punjab is serious about ending polio. But some challenges remain, like reaching kids in faraway places or busy cities like Lahore, where the virus is still active. Moving people and missed children make it harder to stop the disease.
\nThe campaign is led by important leaders, including Chief Minister Mariam Nawaz Sharif and health officials. They want every child to be safe from polio. The Coordinator, Mr. Adeel Tassawar, said teams are ready to visit even the toughest areas to vaccinate kids. He also warned that districts must work hard and not make mistakes.
\nParents are asked to help by letting vaccinators into their homes and making sure kids get all their shots, not just for polio but other diseases too. This campaign is about keeping children healthy for the future.
\nTo make sure everything goes well, district leaders must check the work closely. They need to be honest and make sure no fake information is shared. Special vaccination spots at bus stops and train stations will also be watched carefully.
