WHO announces start of second round of polio vaccinations in six provinces
The World Health Organization (WHO) has announced that the second round of the polio vaccination campaign has started in six provinces in Afghanistan.
The organization said on X, formerly Twitter, on Sunday that this campaign has started in five northern provinces and one southern province of the country.
Jawzjan, Sar-e-Pul, Balkh, Faryab, Uruzgan and Samangan are among the provinces in the second round of polio vaccination.
WHO asked people to cooperate with the vaccinators in order to get the children vaccinated.
Meanwhile, the first round of the polio vaccination campaign started on Monday last week, but excluded the six northern provinces of the country.
Last week, the World Health Organization announced the registration of five new cases of polio in Afghanistan.
