From the shores of Nuakata Island to Milne Bay Province, at the southeastern tip of the country, two rounds of #polio vaccination campaigns have reached children across Papua New Guinea.

By overcoming the logistical challenges of delivering life-saving vaccines to remote island communities, this effort was more than just a visit. It was a powerful reminder that every child’s health matters and that no community will be left behind.

In Round 1, the campaign successfully reached over 83% of targeted children across 17 provinces. Round 2 now aims to achieve at least 95% coverage across all 22 provinces. Children are receiving both the novel oral polio vaccine type 2 (nOPV2) and the inactivated polio vaccine (IPV), along with vitamin A supplementation and deworming tablets, offering a comprehensive shield against polio and other childhood diseases.

WHO and partners continue to support efforts to reach even the most remote corners of the country. Yet the success of the campaign rests on the dedication of health workers, community leaders, volunteers, and above all, parents whose commitment ensures that every child receives  this life-saving protection.

Our message is clear: no child will be left behind in the fight against polio in Papua New Guinea.

Let’s finish the job, let’s #EndPolio. #WorldPolioDay
