The CGPP continues to contribute to polio eradication by working with more than 10,000 community health volunteers who support polio campaigns; conduct community-based surveillance; promote routine immunization; track the vaccination status of under-five children, newborns, and pregnant women; and mobilize communities to participate in vaccination services.
