**Chief Minister Mohan Yadav Launches Three-Day Pulse Polio Immunization Campaign in Madhya Pradesh**
Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh): Chief Minister Mohan Yadav emphasized the vital importance of the polio vaccine, stating that it not only safeguards a child for life but also forms the foundation of a healthy, strong, and self-reliant nation. He appealed to all parents to ensure that no child is left without the protection of the polio vaccine.
On Sunday morning, the Chief Minister inaugurated the three-day Pulse Polio Immunization Campaign (October 12-14) at CM House by administering polio drops to 12 children, marking the formal launch of the drive.
Under this campaign, polio drops will be given to children from October 12 to 14 across 18 districts, including Anuppur, Betul, Bhind, Bhopal, Chhindwara, Datia, Dewas, Gwalior, Narmadapuram, Jabalpur, Katni, Khandwa, Khargone, Mandla, Mandsaur, Morena, Narsinghpur, and Neemuch.
The Chief Minister highlighted that over 64,000 personnel will be involved in administering polio drops at more than 24,000 Pulse Polio booths throughout the state. In addition to fixed booths, teams will conduct door-to-door visits to ensure every child receives the vaccine and remains safe and healthy for life.
More than 39.19 lakh children within the targeted age group across these 18 districts are expected to benefit from the vaccination drive.
Mohan Yadav stressed that the fight against polio will succeed only if every parent ensures their child receives the two essential drops during each campaign. He added that Madhya Pradesh is progressing steadily toward realizing Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision of a healthy and strong India.
“Public participation is the greatest strength of this campaign,” Yadav said, expressing confidence that with collective effort, Madhya Pradesh will soon become polio-free.
