A weeklong door-to-door anti-polio drive in the Central African Republic ended on Saturday. The nation-wide campaign follows the outbreak of two cases of a deadly form of "wild polio" in June 2004 in the northern prefecture of Mambere Kadei. Health workers vaccinated approximately 3,000 children, the director of preventive medicine in the ministry of health Dr Abel Namssenmo told IRIN on Monday.
