Govt to round off polio outbreak response campaign

Saturday, December 3, 2016

The Taraba government on Friday rounded off the polio outbreak response campaign with five successful rounds of immunisation for under-five children.
 
Gov. Darius Ishaku, who inaugurated the final round at Lankaviri near Jalingo, expressed satisfaction that the last four rounds of the exercise recorded 100 per cent success in the 168 council wards of the state.
 
The governor said the campaign was imperative given the nearness of Borno which recorded new cases of wild polio virus recently.
