The information was provided today, Tuesday, by the director of the Provincial Health Office in Lunda-Sul, Viegas de Almeida, highlighting that in the next few days, around 200 children identified in the municipality of Dala will be vaccinated, who for some reason were not immunized during the campaign period.

The vaccination campaign was carried out due to new cases of polio registered in the provinces of Lunda-Norte, Luanda, Moxico, Huambo, Benguela and Lunda-Sul.EM/JW/HD/TED/DOJ
