Polio campaign is going to be kicked off from March 14 instead of March 12 in Sindh province to administer polio vaccine drops to 6.5 million children aging up to five year old.

Director of Expanded Program on Immunization (EPI) Sindh chapter, Dr. Mazhar Khamisani told that it was decided to start the polio campaign on March 12 but now it would commence from March 14.

On the other hand GAVI Vaccinators had locked cold chain store situated at IIT Depot and stopped delivery of polio vaccine to various towns of Karachi in protest against non-payment of their salaries which was ended after Secretary Health assured them to release the salaries in a month.

Chairman Vaccination welfare Association, Junaid Ahmed Shah told that though they are going to participate in the campaign, but if their demands were not met they could lock the cold storage again. (PPI)
