LAHORE:The fifth and final polio National Immunisation Days (NIDs) campaign of 2025 will commence across Punjab on Monday (today), aiming to vaccinate over 17 million children under the age of five against poliovirus.
Speaking ahead of the campaign, Adeel Tasawur, Head of the Punjab Polio Programme and EOC Coordinator, said that more than 200,000 trained polio workers and supervisors will be deployed across the province to ensure no child is missed.
‘Despite significant progress, poliovirus remains a serious threat. Sustaining momentum through high-quality campaigns is critical to interrupt transmission,’ Tasawur stated.Given its status as a core reservoir district, Lahore will observe an extended seven-day campaign, while immunisation activities in all other districts will continue for four days.
