The new round of polio vaccination kicks off this week and will cover around 15 million children under the age of 15 across the country, said a source linked to the Ministry of Health.

To this end, vaccines and registration tools are being distributed to districts across the country, according to the head of the Health and Surveillance Department of the Ministry of Health, Domingos Guihole, to Notícias online.

The source also said that financial resources are being mobilized to train the entities involved in the process.

He also said that some provinces had requested more materials, such as finger markers for children and accumulators for storing vaccines, to ensure that the work runs smoothly.
