The Ministry of Health will launch next Thursday a new national polio vaccination campaign, targeting 2.7 million children under five.
In a statement, SANA received a copy of its readiness for the campaign until 1945: a health center, 2,600 mobile teams, 8601 health workers and 128 volunteers, with more than 2.9 million doses of oral vaccine.
The ministry reaffirmed that the vaccine was safe and that it was among the best in the world and that it did not cause any side effects that could harm the health of the child, "inviting parents take their children to the health center or the nearest mobile team to give them the vaccine for free.
Common symptoms, such as cough, diarrhea, colds, simple fever and the use of certain medications as inflammatory medications do not prevent the child's vaccination, said the ministry.

Syria declared for the first time that it was polio-free in 1995, after several cases of transmission of wild Pakistani virus by armed terrorist groups, in 2013. The Ministry of Health launched a series of campaigns national immunization programs that have reduced the transmission of the virus and has not reported any new cases since the beginning of 2014.
