Nanik explained that during the implementation of Sub PIN Polio there were no significant obstacles. Public awareness of the importance of providing immunizations to children is very good. Even so, there are still some residents who are reluctant to have their children immunized.
Parents’ awareness of the importance of immunization cannot be separated from the outreach carried out by the city government. Either through social media, flyerposters, video screenings, and voice appeals from the Mayor of Surabaya, Eri Cahyadi, in strategic places.
“That way, these obstacles can be minimized,” said Nanik.

This achievement, which exceeds the target, cannot be separated from the hard work of regional officials (PD), sub-district and sub-district officials throughout the city of Surabaya. Not only that, the participation of Surabaya Great cadres (KSH), the PKK driving team (TP), and universities was also taken into account.
He added that the Surabaya City Government through the Surabaya City Health Office is also activating the strategy sweeping (combing) Sub PIN Polio. Searches were carried out in various places, starting from RW Hall immunization service posts, sub-districts, schools, public places (TTU), train stations, terminals, malls, to door to door to people’s homes.
“Various efforts have been made massively, together with sub-districts, sub-districts, TP PKK, KSH, RT/RW and the academic community involved in the Surabaya City Polio Sub PIN team,” said Nanik.
