Another significant step in Pakistan’s protracted battle against the virus has been taken with the formal start of the nation’s first anti-polio vaccination campaign of 2026. With assistance from international partners such as the World Health Organization, the Pakistan Polio Eradication Programme is spearheading a campaign to vaccinate millions of children under five across every province. Health workers are visiting door-to-door, ensuring even rural and high-risk locations receive attention.
Polio remains a severe health concern, but sustained government efforts, enhanced monitoring, and community awareness are helping reduce cases. To completely safeguard children, authorities emphasize that repeated vaccinations are both safe and essential. Parents are asked to collaborate with immunization staff and help dispel myths regarding polio drops. This campaign highlights Pakistan’s commitment to securing a healthy future, where every kid can grow up free from preventable impairments and the country can ultimately attain polio-free status.
