Antipolio drive for 951,900 babies<\/p>\n
JAKARTA (JP): The city administration is targeting 951,900
\nunder-fives in this year's second nationwide antipolio drive.<\/p>\n
Governor Surjadi Soedirdja said yesterday that the number will
\nhopefully exceed the target because there is a possibility that
\nchildren living outside Jakarta will be immunized here.<\/p>\n
\"It is possible because in the first round last month
\n976,101 children were immunized or 2.54 percent more than the
\ntarget,\" he said when initiating the project in Penjaringan,
\nNorth Jakarta.<\/p>\n
The city administration established 9,135 immunization posts
\nthroughout Jakarta to immunize children in the second nationwide
\nantipolio drive.<\/p>\n
Governor Surjadi Soedirdja said yesterday that the posts are
\nlocated in hospitals, community health centers, marketplaces,
\nhotels and restaurants.<\/p>\n
Therefore, he added, there is no reason for under-fives not to
\nget the vaccine.<\/p>\n
\"All children must get the vaccine and please don't turn down
\nchildren from other areas who come to get it,\" Surjadi told those
\ninvolved in administering the drug. (yns)<\/p>",
