Pakistan has successfully vaccinated more than 24 million children under the age of five during its latest nationwide polio vaccination campaign, conducted across 97 districts of the country.
According to campaign details, the vaccination drive took place from November 2 to 8, with the participation of more than 200,000 frontline health workers who visited homes and communities to administer polio drops to children.
Sindh recorded approximately 7.1 million children vaccinated during the campaign, making a significant contribution to the nationwide effort.
Despite progress in vaccination coverage, polio remains a public health concern in Pakistan. Nine polio cases have been reported in the country during 2026 so far.
Health authorities have emphasized the importance of continued vaccination efforts and public cooperation to protect children from the crippling disease.
Parents have been urged to ensure that every child under five receives polio drops during every vaccination campaign to help achieve a polio-free Pakistan.
