Parents advised to immunise children against polio
National Polio Awareness Week was held from August 6 to 12.
The Department of Health lead a campaign to raise awareness on immunisation and the prevention of polio.
The department recommended that children under the age of five be immunised against the common childhood disease.
Polio has potentially fatal complications, especially in small children, but it can be prevented.
Immunisation and childhood vaccines against preventable diseases are available for free at public clinics.
