Polio vaccination starts in Zambezi despite no cases - nbc

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. Speaking to the NBC News team this morning, the Ministry’s Control Public Relations Officer, Walters Kamaya, said 57 mobile vaccination teams have been deployed to complement fixed vaccination points at Katima Mulilo Hospital and clinics across the region. Although heavy rains persist, Kamaya noted that most flood-prone areas remain accessible and will receive coverage. He added that contingency plans are in place, including the use of boats, should logistical challenges arise in areas that are difficult to reach. #NBCNews #nbcdigitalnews #nbcDSTV282 #nbcGOtv20 #nbcPlusApp
