Polio Vaccination Drive at Gateway International School: Protecting Our Future
Protecting Futures: GIS Children Receive Polio Vaccinations
At Gateway International School (GIS), we believe in nurturing not only the minds of our children but also their health and well-being. This commitment was on full display during our recent Polio Vaccination Drive, where children across our academy, preschool, and special needs center participated in this critical health initiative.
A Personal Touch
What truly stood out during the drive was the sense of togetherness and care that permeated the event. Teachers, staff, and even fellow students came together to support one another, turning the vaccination day into a celebration of community. Smiles, laughter, and reassuring words filled the air, reminding everyone that at GIS, every child’s well-being is a shared priority.
Understanding the Polio Vaccine: When does your child need to be vaccinated?
The polio vaccine is a vital tool in the fight against this debilitating disease. Administered in multiple doses starting from infancy, it provides lifelong immunity when the full course is completed. The vaccine is both safe and effective, protecting children from paralysis and other severe complications caused by the poliovirus. By participating in this vaccination drive, GIS is ensuring that every child, regardless of their background, has access to this essential protection.
A Step Towards a Healthier Tomorrow
Polio is a preventable disease, but it requires consistent action to eradicate it from our communities. At GIS, we took this responsibility seriously by organizing an on-campus vaccination drive in collaboration with local health authorities. The event ensured that all children, including those with special needs, had easy access to this life-saving vaccine in a safe and comfortable environment.
Inclusivity at Its Core: Our vaccination drive was carefully planned to cater to every child’s needs:
- Friendly Setup: The environment was designed to be welcoming and stress-free, with colorful decorations and cheerful staff to help children feel at ease.
- Special Attention for Special Needs: For children with sensory sensitivities, our staff provided extra support and care, ensuring a smooth and positive experience.
- Parental Involvement: Parents were encouraged to accompany their children, fostering a sense of trust and reassurance throughout the process.
