BAJAUR: The special anti-polio campaign in 11 selected union councils of Bajaur tribal district continued for the second day on Tuesday.

The five-day campaign started on Monday, said a statement here issued by the DC office. It, however, didn’t mention the total number of children to be vaccinated during the drive.

It claimed that a large number of children had so far been administered polio drops during the past two days.

The statement said that foolproof security had been provided to the vaccinators. It said that several teams of the district administration led by senior officials were also supervising the campaign besides the local health department and WHO officials.
