P rovincial Spokesperson for the Department of
Health Sithembiso Magubane said the provincial government is urging all parents
to sign consent forms so that their children can be immunized.
The Western
Cape will be administering about one million
children in the province for measles and polio.
The campaign will be launched by the
Minister of Health Aaron Motsoaledi at the end of this month.
It was reported that between 2009 and 2010
about 1 200 children contracted measles in the province.
Magubane further said for children
that are not attending crèches, they should be taken to any school, because
Health officials will be going around to different schools during the month of
May.
