Test - Zainabiya Health Centre,Bangalore February 2003
As part of the Government of India initiative, all children all over the country are to be vaccinated against Polio. Our Zainabiya Health Centre in Bangalore also took part in this initiative.
Polio is a very serious debilitating condition. It is an infectious disease caused by a virus. It starts with a mild fever and rapidly affects the nervous system causing paralysis of limbs – mainly legs. The patient is left disabled for life.
It is easily prevented by vaccination. Three drops of the vaccine given by mouth at monthly intervals on three occasions followed by booster doses later provides a life long immunity against this horrible disease.
The programme was well publicised by our health centre and children in all surrounding areas were vaccinated.
