The Pakistain Polio Eradication Programme explained that polio is a ''paralysing'' disease with ''no cure'' and ''the completion of the routine vaccination for all children under the age of five'' just provides them ''high immunity against this terrible disease''.
Pakistain has taken strict measures to administer polio vaccines as the last countrywide vaccination campaign of the year kicked off on Monday with an aim to administer vaccine against the crippling disease to about 44,000,000 children across the country.
Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on Sunday announced the launch of the anti-polio drive by administering drops to children in Islamabad.
Around 400,000 polio workers across 143 districts of the country will visit every household to administer polio drops to the children below five years, as per Prime Minister's Focal Person on Polio Eradication Ayesha Raza Farooq.
