Karachi: The decision to defer the start of ‘polio campaign’ till June 20 in four districts of Sindh, due to the Tropical Cyclone which was expected to hit coastal areas of the province, still remains intact despite the report of a relatively much clearer weather. The four districts that were put on high alert are Karachi, Thatta, Badin and Tando Muhammed Yar Khan. However the campaign in other districts will kick off on June 13, as decided earlier, and during the campaign some 6.3 million children of below 5 years will be dispensed polio drops, informed Project Director Expanded Programme on Immunization (EPI) Sindh Dr. Mazhar Khamisani.
