PESHAWAR: The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government administered oral polio vaccine (OPV) to over 500,000 children in Peshawar on Sunday, officials said.
A total of 12,000 health workers took part in the campaign conducted in 60 union councils of the provincial metropolis.
The officials said that 5,000 policemen provided security to the vaccinators on the second Sunday of ‘Sehat Ka Insaf’ programme of the Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) led provincial government in areas that were listed in high-risk category in the past.
“We have achieved a record success mainly due to political ownership of the immunisation programme by the PTI-led government,” the officials said.
