He urged residents of Ishielu to actively participate in the campaign, stressing the necessity of ensuring that all children are vaccinated against polio.
“In unity, we can overcome the challenges posed by preventable diseases. I call on all parents and guardians in Ishielu to collaborate with our Local Government chairman and ensure that every child receives their vaccination, safeguarding their health and future,” he stated.
He said the Polio vaccine immunization initiative aims to provide essential health services and enhance community awareness about the importance of immunizations in Ishielu and Ebonyi at large.
