Health authorities are actively encouraging parents and guardians to participate by ensuring their children receive the vaccine. The program aims to reach as many children as possible to establish a strong defence against polio in the community.
Chikwanha urged parents and guardians who have not yet vaccinated their children to take immediate action. They are advised to visit the nearest health facility or make arrangements for health practitioners to administer the vaccine in their communities. By doing so, they contribute to protecting their children’s health and preventing the spread of poliovirus in Zvishavane.
With no known cure for polio, the importance of vaccination cannot be overstated. Health experts in Zvishavane stress the significance of prioritizing polio vaccination for children. The ongoing vaccination program shows promising progress in ensuring the community remains resilient against the disease. By actively participating in the program, parents and guardians play a crucial role in safeguarding the well-being of their children and the wider community.
