Pakistan has initiated its final nationwide vaccination campaign of the year in an effort to protect 45 million children from polio. This move comes after a recent increase in new cases has hindered the country's progress in eradicating the disease. According to the World Health Organization, Pakistan and neighboring Afghanistan are the only two countries where polio has not been eradicated.
Since January, Pakistan has reported 63 confirmed cases of polio, highlighting the ongoing challenge the country faces in eliminating the virus. The current anti-polio drive is set to run until December 22, with the aim of reaching as many children as possible.
