Many children not receiving their scheduled polio vaccinations
Militant attacks on polio workers
Parents in rural areas boycotting vaccination drives
To combat the spread of polio, Pakistan has launched vaccination drives. The oral polio vaccine is the best protection against polio and is delivered to citizens’ doorsteps in multiple vaccination rounds in a year.
