Stakeholders concerned over polio vaccination boycott

VARIOUS stakeholders in Hurungwe district have raised concern over “refusal” by some parents and guardians to have their children vaccinated against polio and measles.

This came out during a stakeholders meeting in Karoi on Thursday, where it was revealed that at least 1 000 children were not vaccinated during Polio Round 3 blitz last year.

Polio Round 4 vaccination will kick off on Tuesday and end on Friday this coming week.
