State’s health administration, aided by UNICEF and WHO, conducted a survey in high-risk areas and those in the vicinity of a nala in which vaccine-derived polio virus was recently found. The vaccination campaign is a precautionary measure to prevent infections. Even before the survey to identify the number of children for the campaign was completed, the State procured 3.5 lakh doses of vaccine which will be administered by injection.
