Anti-polio campaign

Letter April 25, 2019
The government restartes the fight with great vigour

PESHAWAR: It is disheartening to see the spread of misinformation related to the polio vaccination campaigns, in Peshawar. The government has restarted the fight against polio with great vigour, and aims to eradicate the virus as early as possible. The polio workers risk their lives in conducting the door-to-door vaccinations, yet there are some who create panic amongst the citizens by spreading false news regarding children falling sick due to it. Our people should put their personal vendettas aside and focus on the betterment of the country and our children, and not resort to making up such unfortunate news.
