Lenia Isabel Carrió Rodríguez shares the joy of being a parent and taking on the responsibility that this entails in raising and guiding her little girl, just 2 years old.
She says that Naia and her antics have spread joy to the family, who, together with her, ensure her well-being and happiness.
That's why she went to the vaccination center at the Buenaventura polyclinic so her little girl could receive the polio vaccination. "Above all," she says, "we are grateful because we are privileged to have a national program that guarantees the protection of our children, and here from the beginning to support this process."
Alongside her are experienced nursing professionals like Nivia Gómez Martín, the person in charge of the vaccination center. "It began in the 34 medical offices in the health area and continues as of this Tuesday so that every infant from 1 month old to 2 years, 11 months, and 29 days old receives the two drops orally."
She stated that progress is being made favorably, with the necessary resources and the full availability of healthcare personnel to successfully undertake the current campaign.

Amidst the hustle and bustle, we also find Kenia León Cruz, a nurse from the Vista Hermosa health area. There, some 250 children are receiving greater protection and life guarantees.

In the Holguín municipality of Calixto García, more than 1,760 children will benefit from the 64th polio vaccination campaign, thanks to a national policy that prevents infection with the viral disease, which can affect the spinal cord, causing muscle weakness and paralysis.
