The head of the municipal health department, Reuven Cohen, has put out an important call to the public, in light of the campaign by the Health Ministry to get the public inoculated against polio after strains have been discovered in southern Israel.
The announcement reads:
All children born after January 1, 2004 need to get the live-virus weakened vaccination against Polio.
The goal: to stop the spreading of the dangerous polio virus.
The danger: illness, paralysis, and in some cases death.
Tipat Chalav (child well-centers) is open to the wider public every day between 8:00 and 16:00, and on Friday between 8:00 and 12:00. The public should come with their kids and their vaccination booklets, no appointment necessary.
