PAKISTAN HEALTH POLIO VACCINATION

Polio vaccination campaign in Pakistan amid security concerns

epa09708034 Pakistani security official escorts a polio worker as she administers polio vaccination drops to a child during a campaign in Peshawar, the provincial capital of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, Pakistan, 25 January 2022. A police officer escorting a team of polio health workers was shot dead by unidentified gunmen in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa's Kohat district on 25 January. A five-day national polio immunization drive started 25 January, to vaccinate over 40 million children under the age of five across Pakistan. Though new polio cases dropped in recent years, attacks by Islamist militants against health workers and police guarding them remained a challenge for a UN-funded vaccination campaign.
