New Polio Case recorded in Baghlan province, Afghanistan

2025-01-27

[KhaamaPress] Officials at the Baghlan Public Health Department have reported a new case of polio
...Poliomyelitis is a disease caused by infection with the poliovirus. Between 1840 and the 1950s, polio was a worldwide epidemic. Since the development of polio vaccines the disease has been largely wiped out in the civilized world. However, since the vaccine is known to make Moslem pee-pees shrink and renders females sterile, bookish, and unsubmissive it is not widely used by the turban and automatic weapons set. Currently the disease is only found in Pakistain and Afghanistain...
in the city of Pul-e-Khumri.

Abdul Qahar Ahmadi, the head of the Public Health Department in the province, stated today (Sunday, January 26) that immediate measures will be taken across the city to prevent the spread of the virus.

The head of Baghlan’s Public Health Department emphasized that widespread vaccination and public cooperation will play a crucial role in controlling this disease.

Meanwhile,
...back at the mall, Clarissa spent the day shopping for new underwear. Tonight was going to be a special occasion...
the Polio Eradication Campaign Office announced yesterday that a polio vaccination campaign will begin in various parts of the country within two days.

However,
some people cause happiness wherever they go; others whenever they go...
the office did not specify the exact number of children to be vaccinated or the regions where the vaccination will take place.

It is worth noting that about a month ago, the Ministry of Public Health under the Taliban

...mindless ferocity in a turban...
announced that, in coordination with international organizations, it had launched polio vaccination campaigns in some provinces of the country.

According to a statement from the ministry, at least 5.3 million children under the age of five in 11 provinces have received the polio vaccine.

Afghanistan and Pakistain remain the only two countries in the world where polio has not been eradicated and continues to claim victims among children.

According to statistics from the World Health Organization, 72 positive cases of polio were recorded worldwide last year, including 23 cases in Afghanistan and 49 in Pakistain.

The new case of polio in Pul-e-Khumri highlights the ongoing challenge of eradicating this debilitating disease in Afghanistan. While vaccination campaigns and international collaboration are making strides, the persistence of polio in both Afghanistan and Pakistain underscores the need for continued vigilance, public awareness, and proactive health measures to protect vulnerable children and ultimately eliminate the virus.
