The Expanded Programme on Immunization (EPI) in Sudan’s West Kordofan State kicked off on Tuesday. The campaign helps immunize against polio.
EPI director in West Kordofan Nasir Jibara Khidir told Radio Tamazuj on Wednesday that the immunization in the state targets about 289,911 children this year.
“The drive targets children who are under five years old across West Kordofan,” he said.
Khidir further said they had provided the necessary requirements for vaccination teams to carry out their work in the localities.
Polio is one of the six childhood diseases that are prevented by the vaccination.
