A SPOKESMAN FOR THE MEDICAL AND HEALTH DEPARTMENT POINTED OUT THAT ALTHOUGH POLIOMYELITIS HAD NOW BEEN VIRTUALLY ELIMINATED, THERE WAS NO ROOM FOR COMPLACENCY.
HE SAID ALL PREVENTIVE AND CONTROL MEASURES MUST CONTINUE IN ORDER TO MAINTAIN A HIGH LEVEL OF IMMUNITY AMONG CHILDREN AGAINST THE DISEASE.
FOR A CHILD TO BE IMMUNISED THREE DOSES OF VACCINE ARE REQUIRED WITH AN EIGHT-WEEK INTERVAL BETWEEN THE FIRST AND SECOND DOSES. A THIRD DOSE SHOULD BE TAKEN A YEAR LATER.
