Pakistan says over 23.4 million children vaccinated in five days of anti-polio campaign Pakistan · 2026-11-07 08:38
The National Emergency Operations Center (NEOC) said on Saturday that health workers had vaccinated over 23.4 million children in the past five days, and urged parents and caregivers to get their children vaccinated. The seven-day campaign, which began on Monday, aims to reach 24 million children across 97 targeted districts of the province.
Polio is a highly infectious viral disease that mainly affects young children, and Pakistan and Afghanistan are among the last countries where wild poliovirus remains endemic, so repeated vaccination drives are central to efforts to eliminate it.
