Peshawar January 20, 2021 CHARSADDA: The first anti-polio vaccination drive of the year has been successfully completed with achieving the set targets in the district, an official said on Tuesday. Talking to the media, Deputy Commissioner Adeel Shah said that all the relevant departments had played a vital role in making the anti-polio campaign successful. He said that Charsadda was a polio-free district in the year 2020 while refusal cases had been substantially decreased owing to the awareness drives, seminars and programmes run by the departments concerned about the crippling disease. “A total of 1051 anti-polio teams were constituted in the district, which carried out a door-to-door campaign and vaccinated 2,90,000 children against the poliovirus,” the official said, adding that the awareness drives about the permanent disability caused by the virus yielded very positive results.
