Polio Vaccination Campaign to Begin Across Afghanistan
The "Polio Free Afghanistan" organisation has announced that a polio vaccination campaign will commence across Afghanistan on Monday, June 3.
The organisation has urged the Afghan populace to vaccinate their children to protect them against this disease.
On Sunday, this organisation revealed the new polio campaign in Afghanistan on the X social platform but did not specify the campaign's duration.
According to official reports, six positive cases of polio were recorded in Afghanistan last year. Polio is a viral infection that spreads through contact with the faeces of an infected person or through sneezing, primarily affecting children under five.
Most infected individuals show no symptoms; however, common signs include high fever, sore throat, headache, stomach pain, body aches, and vomiting.
