Deir ez-Zor Polio Alert
The Syrian Ministry of Health stepped up vaccination and epidemiological surveillance in Deir ez-Zor after poliovirus type 1 was detected in two children, aged 6 and 13 months, who showed symptoms of paralysis. Health teams vaccinated more than 34,000 children under five in the affected areas and are preparing to launch an additional campaign next week, while also searching for further cases and potential contacts. The World Health Organization and UNICEF are supporting the response. The ministry urged families to complete routine vaccination schedules and take part in vaccination campaigns.
