“Contact with patients is reduced so that an outbreak occurs with an increase in cases of measles, diphtheria, that’s why it is being done WHITE for acceleration vaccine results,” he said

Agus revealed that there are still several children who have not received the polio vaccine.

Because among them there are children whose parents are not allowed to get vaccines.

However, when looking at universal childhood immunization (UCI) data, at least 85-90% of the target population has been vaccinated.

“So there’s still about 5% of the targets that haven’t participated in the vaccination,” he said.

As for the polio vaccine, that is a regular type of vaccine that is usually given anytime by health care professionals for toddlers and under-twos (children under two).

According to him, there are still people who see that the polio vaccine does not need to be administered.

Even if the virus is still there and one way to prevent it is with a vaccine. ***
