So the polio immunization campaign Round 2 will kick off from the 13th of October this year. This second round will be offering both the OPV and the IPTV. IPTV is the polio vaccine injection and the OPV is the polio drops. The polio drops stops the virus from spreading in families and communities and the polio vaccine injection strengthens the child's personal immunity. So it's like individual protection. Whether it's the polio drop or the polio vaccine injection, together they offer even stronger protection for our children. For the New Guinea Islands region, they will only use the polio vaccine injection for children three months to 10 years of age. This means they will not get polio drops, but eligible children will also receive vitamin A, they were main tablets and routine immunization. So I appeal to all parents, caregivers and guardians of children under 10 years of age to please bring your children to your nearest health facility school, regardless if they have received polio immunization in the past, please bring them back. Extra doses boost protection. The board doses received, the stronger the defense.
