The Gaborone City Council reminds parents and guardians to continue supporting the ongoing Polio Vaccination Campaign 2026.
Key reminders after vaccination:
- Encourage regular handwashing with soap and water
- If a child becomes unwell after vaccination, visit the nearest health facility immediately
- Ensure children continue with all routine vaccinations after the campaign
- Confirm that the child’s left little fingernail has been marked before the vaccination team leaves
- Ensure the vaccination details are recorded in the Child Welfare Card
Protect your child. Protect the future.
