Angola kicked off the second round of a national campaign against polio on October 13, targeting over 5.4 million children under age 5 in all 18 provinces. The campaign—ending October 16—came in response to several reported cases of cVDPV1 and cVDPV2 in neighboring DRC, per Precision Vaccinations. A previous round in September also administered vitamin A supplements and albendazole tablets in areas with the highest occurrence of intestinal parasites. WHO AFRO; Precision Vaccinations
