The government will launch an anti-polio vaccination drive from Dec 16 till Dec 22. The nationwide tally of polio cases has reached 63 this year so far.
The Pakistan polio program said on Friday, “A large-scale polio vaccination campaign is being held in the country from December 16 to December 22 during which vaccinators will go house to house to immunize more than 44 million children under five in 143 districts against polio.”
“Over 80,000 frontline workers will participate in the campaign, going door-to-door to ensure that no child is left unvaccinated,” it said in a statement. “To provide a secure environment for these efforts, 15,000 security personnel will be deployed across Sindh.” “The situation remains critical, with most environmental samples testing positive for the virus, indicating ongoing circulation,” it said.
