A 12-day long vaccination campaign against typhoid is set to begin today by the Peshawar district administration and the health department. All preparations pertaining to the initiative have been finalized.
According to resources, the campaign will vaccinate over eight hundred thousand children aged between 9 to 15 minutes.
A meeting was also conducted in this regard, with Shafiullah Khan, Deputy Commissioner Peshawar, serving as the meeting chair.
While speaking at the meeting, Khan emphasized the significance of parents administering typhoid preventive immunizations to their kids and how the initiative can be beneficial in the long run.

Typhoid was a dangerous and deadly fever for which various measures are being taken by the government. The citizens should be vaccinated to prevent typhoid and they should ensure cooperation with the health department and district administration.
