Hyderabad: The national intensified pulse polio campaign, aimed at administering polio oral drops to over 35 lakh children aged up to five years in Telangana, will be taken up on Sunday.

The intensified campaign, to be rolled between 8 am and 5 pm, will be administered at all government healthcare facilities apart from Aanganwadi centres, government schools, public libraries, bus terminals, railway stations, tourism centres and airports.

To ensure the pulse polio vaccination drive is a success, the health department in close coordination with municipal corporations and Panchayat Raj officials has established around 25,000 polio booths across Telangana. There are close to 800 mobile teams, nearly 8000 Auxiliary Nurse Midwife (ANMs) and over 25,000 Accredited Social Health Activists (ASHA) workers to implement the intensified pulse polio drive.

To cover children who missed out on the first day of the drive, a two-day mop up exercise with field level workers personally visiting slum settlements, construction sites etc to vaccinate children belonging to the transient demography, will be held on Monday and Tuesday.

On Friday, Health Minister, T Harish Rao urged parents to ensure their children are administered the polio drops and make the vaccination drive a success. He urged public representatives to personally participate in the pulse polio vaccination drive, which will go a long way in encouraging parents to turn up at the vaccine booths along with their children.
