The Health ministry will kick off a one-week polio vaccination campaign in Nairobi next week. The exercise follows the recent case of a rare strand of polio discovered in sewage samples in Eastleigh Estate. The campaign targets all children under five years. It has dashed Kenya’s hopes of being declared polio-free this year by the World Health Organization. The campaign will ensure our children remain polio-free.”Last week, the government called upon medical practitioners to be on high alert to respond swiftly in case of emergency.
