Have kids vaccinated against deadly polio

-

According to outbreakne­wstoday. com, January 12, there is an outbreak of polio in Mozambique.

Knowing how many people from Mozambique cross daily into South Africa, legally or illegally, parents make sure your children have had their polio vaccinatio­ns. If the government clinics have run out of the polio vaccine, you can ask your doctor to administer it. The government has become very slack in providing our vaccines. However, because the government is failing us does not mean we must fail our children. Some parents drink, smoke and go to the movies regularly, so they can afford to pay for a polio vaccine. Recent generation­s of parents have not seen the devastatio­n of polio. Please don’t allow your children to be in pain and disabled because the polio vaccine wasn’t a priority in your life. Remember, you are all poliofree because your parents had you vaccinated.
