Ukraine polio: 'Parents and doctors must protect children'

Health officials in Ukraine fear a major polio outbreak, after it was announced earlier this month that the disease paralysed two children in the south west of the country.

A nationwide immunisation drive for all children under 10 has been announced.

Ukraine has some of the lowest vaccination rates in the world.

Dr Tatyana Petrovskaya is the head of a private clinic.
