Pakistan launches polio vaccination drive to reach around 24 million children in 97 districts

Pakistan ·

The campaign was announced by the National Emergency Operations Center (NEOC) and is a subnational drive targeting around 24 million children. Polio is described as highly contagious and incurable, capable of causing lifelong paralysis and sometimes death, and preventable through safe and effective vaccines.

Pakistan is one of the few countries where wild poliovirus remains endemic, so authorities run repeated vaccination campaigns.
