He pleaded with mothers, fathers, caregivers, traditional leaders, religious leaders, and all community members to support every eligible child in their community to be vaccinated against Polio, and ensure they complete their routine vaccination while parents and caregivers should always endeavour to take along the child’s health card for any immunization visit.
