Pakistan Launches Nationwide Anti-Polio Drive

Prime Minister Shehbaz has formally launched the first anti-polio drive of 2025, a nationwide campaign aimed at vaccinating millions of children under the age of five. The vaccination drive, which will run from February 3 to 9, is being carried out in collaboration with international partners, including the World Health Organization (WHO) and the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF). The drive is a crucial step in the government's efforts to rid the country of the crippling disease. The campaign is expected to reach millions of children across the country, with the aim of protecting them from the virus and preventing the spread of polio. The launch of the anti-polio drive comes at a critical time, as Pakistan continues to grapple with the challenges of polio eradication. The government's commitment to launching the drive is a significant step forward, and it is hoped that it will lead to a significant reduction in the number of polio cases in the country.
