Health Workers Begin Polio Vaccination Drive in Afghanistan
Health workers in Afghanistan have launched a program to vaccinate children against polio. United Nations and Afghan government personnel began administering vaccines Wednesday to children in parts of southern and eastern Afghanistan.
The three-day polio immunization drive will continue until Friday, September 21, which the U.N. has designated as an International Day of Peace. The U.N. has encouraged Afghan people to mark the day by holding events urging peace.
Roshan Khadivi, a spokesperson for the U.N. children's agency UNICEF, said that the vaccination teams hope to reach 1.3 million Afghan children. The UNICEF spokesperson says health workers will visit areas that were missed by previous polio vaccination campaigns because of a lack of security. She says Afghan community leaders have agreed to support the campaign.
