Algiers, Algeria – The Ministry of Health has announced the extension of the nationwide polio vaccination campaign until December 8th, 2025. This decision encompasses all provinces across the country.
The extension comes in response to the significant public participation observed since the campaign’s initial launch. The Ministry cites high demand from parents seeking to protect their children as a key factor driving the decision. This surge in participation reflects a growing awareness of the critical importance of polio prevention.
“Vaccination remains the most effective tool in combating polio and safeguarding public health,” a Ministry of Health spokesperson stated. The Ministry emphasizes its commitment to ensuring widespread access to the vaccine throughout the extended campaign period.
Health officials are urging parents and guardians who have not yet vaccinated their children to take advantage of this opportunity. Polio, a highly infectious disease, can cause irreversible paralysis, making preventative measures like vaccination paramount. The ongoing campaign aims to eradicate the threat of polio and secure the well-being of future generations.
The Ministry of Health is working closely with local health authorities to ensure the smooth and efficient distribution of vaccines and to address any concerns or questions from the public. Information regarding vaccination locations and schedules is available at local health centers and through the Ministry’s official communication channels.
