As the country continues with the nationwide polio vaccination, nurses in the Oshana Region are calling on parents and guardians to heed the call for immunisation by taking children under the age of 10 years to the nearest vaccination point. 

The Omusati Region has launched its Polio Vaccination Campaign as part of the nationwide polio immunisation drive.

The four-day vaccination campaign, which aims to immunise all children under the age of 10, will be rolled out throughout the region.

The Ministry of Health and Social Services is aiming to vaccinate more than 95% of eligible children in the Zambezi Region during the ongoing nationwide polio vaccination campaign.

This target translates to about 41,000 children under the age of ten, despite the region having recorded no cases of polio.

The Erongo Region's polio campaign was launched at Hanganeni Primary School by the Swakopmund Constituency Councillor Victor Maswahu, on behalf of the Erongo leadership.
