Dear Parents and Guardians,
We understand that there are many concerns and misconceptions about the polio vaccine. However, we want to assure you that the polio vaccine is halal and safe for your children. Vaccinating your children with just two drops can prevent them from contracting this life-threatening virus.
Pakistan and Afghanistan are the only countries still struggling with polio, and we must take every step possible to protect our children. Let's not allow unfounded rumors to put our children's health at risk. By participating in the upcoming polio campaign from September 9 to 15, we can ensure a healthier future for all.
Let's work together to make polio a thing of the past. Your cooperation and commitment to vaccinating your children will make a significant difference.
Stay informed, stay safe, and protect your children from polio.
