Polio is a severe illness that can cause paralysis or even death in young children. The World Health Organization (WHO) has identified children under five as being particularly vulnerable to the disease, highlighting the importance of widespread immunization efforts.
Health officials urge parents and guardians to take advantage of the campaign to protect their children from this potentially life-threatening virus.
