According to Pakistani officials, in this campaign, which will continue for three days, about 44 million children under the age of five will receive the polio vaccine.

At the same time, Shahbaz Sharif, the Prime Minister of Pakistan, at the opening ceremony of this campaign, asked all local authorities to cooperate in the implementation of the polio vaccine and the complete control of this virus.

This is despite the fact that in 2022, twenty positive cases of polio were recorded in Pakistan, and during the vaccination campaigns, several vaccinators were killed by unknown armed men.
