Spring Vaccination Drive: 300,000 Kids Set to Receive Polio Immunization
Iran has launched a comprehensive vaccination campaign against polio for children under five, as part of its ongoing efforts to eradicate the disease.

Iran has been polio-free since 2000, but rising cases in neighboring Afghanistan and Pakistan pose a risk. The campaign consists of two phases, with the first scheduled from April 12-14, 2024, and the second from June 17-19, 2024, emphasizing the need for continued vigilance.
