Last year 24 cases of polio were reported across the province, according to the officials.
“The polio immunization campaign in K-P was a success,” said an official of the department. The official said no case has been reported from flood-hit areas this year. A report on the immunization drive will be submitted by independent monitoring teams by the end of the month, the official added. Around 22,000 teams were constituted for the campaign. They paid door-to-door visits to vaccinate children.
