On the first day of the vaccination drive, students focused on administering polio drops to children at designated polio booths.

The Polio National Immunisation Day serves as a reminder of the importance of vaccination in safeguarding children’s health and preventing the resurgence of debilitating diseases. The collective efforts made during this three-day drive contribute significantly to the goal of eradicating polio from the country.
