Damascus, SANA- The second nationwide anti-polio vaccination campaign for the year 2021 was launched by the Health Ministry on Sunday.<\/p>\n

The five-day campaign targets nearly 2.780 million under-five children, regardless of previous vaccinations through health centers and mobile teams, while taking precautionary measures to address the novel Coronavirus.<\/p>\n

The children will be vaccinated for free through 967 health centers and 1,700 mobile teams with the participation of 9,460 health workers.<\/p>\n

The vaccine protects the children and society from dangerous polio disease, which leads to permanent disability or death.<\/p>\n

The symptoms of common cold, cough, diarrhea, simple fever, physiological jaundice, or use of antibiotics don\u2019t prevent the vaccination.<\/p>\n
