The Albino Foundation Public Notice
The Edo State Primary Health Care Development Agency (ESPHCDA), has postponed the second round of oral polio vaccination for children between ages 0-59 months in the state.
The Health Education Officer of ESPHCDA, Mrs Irene Uabor, announced this in a statement on Wednesday in Benin.
“This is to inform the general public that the second round of oral polio vaccination for children between the age group of 0-59 months, that is, less than five years of age, earlier scheduled for May 7, will now hold between May 14 and May 17,” she said.
Uabor said that the exercise would now take place in all the 18 local government areas of the state.
She said that health workers would be at strategic stand points like Churches, Mosques and markets to administer the oral polio vaccines.
The health official therefore, advised parents to allow the health workers immunise their children in order to rid the state of the wild polio virus.
