Polio vaccination drive launched
Effie Mphande-Health Minister SLYVIA MASEBO has launched the nationwide polio vaccination campaign.
Ms MASEBO says the second round of the oral polio vaccination campaign kicks off on April 25th to 28th, 2022.
Ms MASEBO said the country is threatened by polio following the outbreak of the disease in Malawi.
She said polio is not curable but can be prevented through vaccination.
Ms MASEBO has urged parents and guardians to ensure that their children under the age of five are vaccinated against the disease.
Earlier the World Health Organisation Country Representative said the UN agency will continue offering technical support to government.
