The 2nd Phase of polio immunisation camps for the children under 5 years of age will be conducted today (Sunday, 11th March) under the Chennai Metro Corporation.
Camps have been set up in 1540 centres across the district for the second phase of polio immunisation drive.
Polio immunisation camps are set up in corporation welfare centres, government hospitals, government schools, government pharmacies, nutrition meal centres, private hospitals, and train and bus stations.
The families who have shifted from other states to Chennai for their jobs can also bring their children to the camps for the administration of polio drops.
The camps will function non-stop from 7.00 AM to 5.00 PM.
Though some children might have already been administered with polio drops, they can be given the same again in this camp.
There are 41 mobile camps also organized for this purpose.
Hence, the parents are advised and strongly requested to take their children under 5 years of age to these camps and get polio drops administered.
Health care staff would conduct a door-to-door check on Monday and Tuesday to cover those children, who miss the pulse polio drive today.
