Poland receives polio vaccines from UNICEF, says health minister

As part of a cooperation agreement with the United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund (UNICEF), the organisation has supplied Poland with vaccines against polio and Hepatitis A, the health minister announced on Friday. Adam Niedzielski said that the cooperation agreement signed with UNICEF would focus on two main objectives. "First of all, to conduct a campaign that will raise awareness among refugees concerning vaccination timetables and the mandatory vaccinations which must be performed until the ages of 18 or 19," he said, adding that the campaign would start on July 1. Secondly, it was intended to "encourage people to become interested in vaccination in order to allow for the full-fledged functioning of the refugees from Ukraine in our society."
