Lakes State Health Ministry on Tuesday launched the third immunization campaign against polio in Rumbek.
EPI Director Simon Makoi says the campaign will continue until Sunday in Yirol East, Yirol West and Awerial Counties due to delay in delivery of vaccines, Radio Good News reports.
UNICEF representative Emmanuel Gai calls for protection of children from diseases so that they grow up to be healthy citizens of South Sudan.
Hakim Makuer of State Health Ministry thanks World Health Organization, Save the Children and UNICEF for supporting the fight against polio.
The campaigners appeal to citizens to allow vaccinators to move freely while immunizing children under the age of five.
