The ministry of health has organized a third round polio immunization campaign to prevent children under five years of age from infection in Turkana county.
The immunization which is starting on 15 January ends on 19th is an exercise conducted in all areas around the county by the ministry of health spearheaded by Lodwar District hospital staff to help immunize the children against this dreadful disease that has been affecting children for a long time.
This exercise is prompted by cases of outbreak which happened in Uganda which is one of our neighboring countries which is placing the Turkana community to a greater risk of infections. This is why the ministry of health takes the necessary precautions against the disease in all areas bordering Kenya before facing the disease itself. The ministry is calling upon all parents and guardians to avail their children for this house to house campaign.
