“There is considerable misinformation surrounding the polio vaccine. These vaccines have been approved by the World Health Organisation (WHO) and confirmed to be safe. It’s important to note that adverse effects following immunisation can occur with any vaccine or medication, as individuals have varying genetic makeup, which can influence their responses.” Dr. Hillary Kagwa, Kiambu Director of Health. In response to recent polio cases discovered in certain areas of Nairobi, Dr. Kagwa announced an immunisation campaign targeting children in Kiambu. “We aim at vaccinating approximately 300,000 children under the age of 5. Those who received their vaccinations during the initial phase in October can participate in this second round to enhance their immunity.” — Dr. Hillary Kagwa.
