POLIO, A SCOURGE

Women after neglecting taking their children for clinics have a great regrets among them. After struggling to kick polio out of Kenya, the compain helped to some extent but failed since most women giving birth locally avoid this immunization and give their children a threat of being paralyzed in future. Many cases have started to occur when children are either born while already paralysed or they start sickling after they have grown up. others have been born with abnormalities and no step is taken by parents to prevent their children from such scourges. The government has tried its best to educate local women on the issue of polio but no step has  been taken. Community nurses have now been appointed in each village to atleast facilitate in giving birth and insist women on the immunization of their  babies. If women are not going to be on their look out, then polio may attack children again yet its immunization is available
