Kirandul. Pulse polio campaign was started in Dantewada district from Sunday. In this, a target has been set to provide polio medicine to a total of 41,380 surveyed children of the district from 0 to 5 years. A total of 320 booths have been made in the district to make the campaign a success. In this, the duty of 657 employees has been imposed. Along with this, a total no mobile team has been formed in the market, fair, high risk area, railway station, bus stand, building construction sites.
Along with this, eight transit teams have been deployed. For monitoring the pulse polio campaign, 33 sectors have been constituted in the area and the duty of 33 supervisors has been imposed. CMHO Dr GC Sharma told that India has remained polio free for a decade. Since polio is a very serious and contagious disease, this is the best way to avoid it. Always give polio drops to children up to five years of age. Keeping in view the situation of COVID-19, all appropriate steps have been taken to ensure safe vaccination.
For example, avoiding crowding at booths, maintaining a distance of two meters, wearing masks, washing hands and administering polio doses in a ventilated environment. This time in the polio campaign, polio dose will be given by monitoring specially in brick kilns and construction areas. This strategy has been made because the working class people change their place very quickly after the work is over. Because of this, their children miss out on drinking.
In the Plus Polio campaign started on Sunday, 129 children in Kirandul Ward No. 01, 68 in Ward No. 02, 85 in Ward No. 03, 81 children in Ward No. 04 are being given polio doses. It was started by Councilor Ram Kishore. Health worker Chandra Badhi, Anganwadi worker Geeta Devnath, Jharna Mandal, Pratima Bhattacharya were present on this occasion.
