Ministry of Health has launched a nation-wide vaccination campaign against polio.

As the nationwide vaccination campaign against polio, measles and rubella nears its end on November 21, the Ministry of Health urged the public on Wednesday to vaccinate their children against these diseases.

The vaccination campaign is targeting all those living in  the country, regardless of their nationality. So far, more than 2.5 million of the targeted groups have been vaccinated against measles and rubella (80 per cent), while more than 800,000 were immunised against polio.
