PENCEGAHAN VIRUS POLIO DENGAN PENYELENGGARAAN KEGIATAN PEKAN IMUNISASI POLIO

Abstract

Polio is a disease caused by the polio virus and can cause paralysis in toddlers. Polio can actually attack anyone, but it attacks more children, especially those under 5 years of age. The purpose of the immunization program is to reduce the death rate from diseases that can be prevented by immunization (PD3I) and the incidence of the disease. This Community Service Activity is carried out by directly providing Polio immunization to children aged 0-5 years. After being immunized, each child is given an ink mark on the finger and an immunization card. Parents are ordered to attend the second PIN activity with a gap of one month. From the results of the Sub PIN Polio immunization week Round 1 at the South City Health Center, Kediri City, it was declared successful with an achievement of 3470 (98.2%). The community, especially parents who have children aged 0-5 years, were very enthusiastic about this activity, as evidenced by the presence of the community who fulfilled the invitation for immunization. It is hoped that for the 2nd round, community enthusiasm will increase so that it can achieve 100% coverage
