Some 41,372 children were immunized in the Dormaa District in Brong Ahafo against polio under the first phase of the National Immunisation Programme.

Benjamin Acheampong, Coordinator of the District National Immunisation Programme, said the exercise was a success and attributed it to the hard work of personnel recruited for the exercise.

He appealed to them to continue with the same zeal during the second phase of the programme scheduled for 8 to 10 November. Acheampong expressed gratitude and appreciation to the Dormaa District Assembly and other decentralised departments and organisations that provided vehicles for the exercise.
