THE Bulawayo City Council (BCC) working with the Ministry of Health and Child Care on Tuesday morning started embarking on the third phase of the national novel Oral Polio Vaccine Type 2 (CPV2) campaign.
The campaign will be conducted in two rounds. The first round starts today and ends on Friday while the second round will run from January 14 to 17, 2025.
The campaign targets to vaccinate at least 95 percent of children from the age of 10 years and below.
The virus had infected neighbouring high-risk countries such as Malawi and Mozambique.
“Vaccines will be given at all municipal clinics, central hospitals, Mater Dei Hospital, selected private surgeries, crèches, primary schools, marketplaces, churches, bus termini and outreach points including house to house,” said Bulawayo Town Clerk, Mr Christopher Dube.
The Ministry of Primary and Secondary Education and other partners are also taking part in the campaign.
