In Travel Vaccine News by Travel Vaccine

When Israel’s Ministry of Health launched an urgent polio vaccination campaign in March 2022, most parents were unaware of the risks and benefits for their children.
However, as the Health Ministry prepares to end this polio vaccination offering, new data indicates it has been successful among most infants and young children.
Israel Hayom reported on June 27, 2022, that 96% of infants were vaccinated compared to 81% before the campaign. 
And the vaccination rate among toddlers aged 18 months to nine years old increased from 69% to 73%.
