He said the bill stated that parents should be bound to produce anti-polio vaccination certificate while seeking admission for their children to government and private schools in the province. The politician criticised the government over the killing of vaccinators and failure to arrest the culpable people and declared it the government's inefficiency. He urged the government to provide health workers carrying out anti-polio vaccination campaign with proper security. Mr Kifayatullah proposed that the government stop sending vaccinators from door to door and make arrangements for vaccination of children against polio in mosques. During the session, politicians from both the treasury and opposition benches condemned the killing of polio vaccinators in the province. Posted by: Fred 2012-12-23 |
