Goa vaccinated more than 84,000 children against polio this year, Health Minister Vishwajit Rane said on World Polio Day. He said timely immunisation protects children and keeps the state on track for a polio-free future.
Polio can cause permanent paralysis in young children, and vaccination drives are what keep the disease from returning. Families who move between states should know their child's immunisation record travels with them.
Check your child's polio vaccination record is complete, especially after a recent move.
