TANGERANG - The Tangerang Regency Government (Pemkab) opened the Polio National Immunization Week (PIN) which was held simultaneously in 29 sub-districts.

A total of 438,523 children in the Tangerang Regency area received the Novel Oral Polio Vaccine type 2 (nOPV2) vaccine with the total vaccine allocation being 1,096,400 doses. This is done as a measure to prevent polio transmission.

"This poster is due to a virus, it is a dangerous disease. And I urge parents to immediately vaccinate polio in children with a maximum age of 8 years less than one day. Our target is more than 400 thousand in Tangerang Regency," said Acting Regent of Tangerang, Andi Ony in his statement, Wednesday, July 23.

The Head of the Tangerang District Health Office, Muchlis, added that the administration of the polio vaccine with this type of nOPV2 vaccine would not affect the administration of the previous vaccine.

"If the child has been vaccinated, continue to participate in this Polio PIN, it doesn't matter, because it is safe, and the delivery is oral or drops. And this system is like a booster, with a distance of about two weeks," he said.
