Yemen vaccinates over 1.4 million children against polio with international support
Yemen’s Ministry of Public Health and Population announced the successful completion of the second round of the national polio immunisation campaign, which vaccinated more than 1.43 million children under the age of five with support from international organisations.
The campaign achieved 107% coverage of the target population, with particularly high rates recorded in the governorates of Hudaydah (130%) and Marib (123%).
The campaign comes amid a renewed outbreak of the disease, 16 years after Yemen was first declared polio-free.
