KARACHI: In response to the recent polio case reported in District Keamari, Karachi, the Sindh Health Department has initiated a targeted vaccination campaign scheduled to run until July 13th. The campaign aims to vaccinate all children under the age of five residing in the district.
The urgency of this vaccination effort was underscored by the paralysis of a three-year-old girl due to the poliovirus in Keamari. This unfortunate incident has prompted health authorities to ensure that all children in the district who have not previously received polio vaccinations are promptly immunized. The targeted vaccination campaign is crucial in preventing the spread of polio and protecting young children from this debilitating disease, reflecting ongoing efforts to maintain polio eradication initiatives in Pakistan.
