RAWALPINDI: During the four-day anti-polio drive from Nov 11, 864,000 children will be vaccinated across the district.

To overcome the shortage of staff, the health department has sought help of education, agriculture and auqaf departments to run the drive.

This was stated by health department officials at a meeting held with Additional Deputy Commissioner Headquarters Saima Younas in the chair.

The health officials informed the meeting that 2,504 mobile teams would visit door-to-door in all union councils to vaccinate children.
