How old are the children to be immunized? [br] [originaltext]Tens of thousands

Tens of thousands of health workers will go house to house over the next three days in an effort to immunize 63 million children under the age of five in sub-Saharan Africa. The campaign is the start of monthly national immunization days during the low season for polio. It’s hoped that vaccinating children now--when the virus is at its weakest--will be the best way of stopping transmission.

In Paris, police have removed more than 200 Africans from a church. They had entered France illegally. The Africans had occupied the church for almost two months. They were demanding the right to remain in France. Ten of the protesters had been refusing to eat. Officials took them to a hospital.
