Some parents refused to let their children be vaccinated against polio and some even threatened vaccination teams in Yei.
Leya Jane, who supervises four vaccination points in Yei town, told Radio Easter on Friday that some mpthers, including foreigners at the markets, refused to have their children immunized against polio.She said she followed up the cases and some mothers relented while other remained adamant not allowing their kids to get the two drops that protect them from polio.
Field assistant supervisor for polio eradication program in Yei payam John Towongo Guya said the campaign that ended today was a success.
He added that survey groups were looking for unvaccinated areas.
Mr Towongo reminded parents that polio is a crippling and sometimes deadly virus that has no cure: vaccination is the only way to prevent it.
The supervisor said if there were areas uncovered by the vaccinators the campaign would extend to Saturday.
