Nationwide anti-polio drive kicks off today

First lady Aseefa Bhutto Zardari has urged parents, caregivers, public representatives and community leaders to actively support an anti-polio campaign that will kick off today.

Over 45 million children will be vaccinated in the nationwide campaign that will continue from December 15 through December 21 across all provinces and regions of the country.

According to a press release issued by the President House, Aseefa said the success of the campaign depends on collective responsibility. She called on families to ensure that every child under five years of age receives polio drops.
