Health workers refuse to visit houses
Staff Reporter
Tirupur: The two-day campaign organised by the Corporation to administer oral polio vaccination to children left out in the city began on a sour note on Monday.
The entire multi-purpose health workers and other medical staff who were deployed for the drive refused to visit the houses expressing concern over their personal safety following incidents of stone throwing and abuses showered on doctors by the public during the pulse polio programme on Sunday.
City Health Officer K.R. Jawaharlal said that 89.6 per cent of the targeted 50,000 children were administered polio vaccination prior to the spread of the rumours on Sunday itself. The percentage went up marginally after a few parents voluntarily visited a few of the government hospitals and dispensaries on Monday to vaccinate their children.
Dr. Jawarharlal requested the parents to vaccinate their children. Meanwhile, doctors and other paramedical staff at the District Headquarters hospital here expressed their protest against the stone throwing incident on the premises in which windows were damaged on Sunday.
