KABUL, November 25 (Xinhua) — Afghanistan's Ministry of Public Health on Monday launched the 4th subnational polio vaccination campaign for children in 2025.
According to the agency's statement, the campaign will take place in 17 of the country's 34 provinces and last four days. Approximately 7.4 million children will receive the oral polio vaccine.
“It is crucial that all influential people in the communities, including religious leaders, elders, and parents, support polio vaccination teams across the country,” said Health Minister Mawlawi Noor Jalal Jalali.
At least nine cases of polio have been reported in Afghanistan this year, the latest of which was detected in early October in the southern province of Uruzgan.
Wild poliovirus transmission continues in two countries: Pakistan and Afghanistan.
“We will make every effort and continue these campaigns along with additional health services until polio is completely eradicated,” the Minister of Health added. –0–
