[GEO.TV] Pakistain's total confirmed polio![]() cases for 2025 have risen to 10 after the Regional Reference Laboratory for Polio Eradication at the National Institute of Health (NIH) confirmed two new cases of wild poliovirus in Lakki Marwat and Bannu districts of southern Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa. Of the total, five cases are from KP, four from Sindh, and one from Punjab ...1. Little Orphan Annie's bodyguard 2. A province of Pakistain ruled by one of the Sharif brothers 3. A province of India. It is majority (60 percent) Sikh and Hindoo (37 percent), which means it has relatively few Moslem riots .... While high-quality polio vaccination campaigns continue nationwide, certain areas, particularly in southern KP, continue to face challenges such as restricted access and difficulties in conducting house-to-house vaccination campaigns. These access and operational hurdles leave thousands of children in the province at the risk of exposure to poliovirus as a result of missed opportunities for vaccination, according to health authorities. Owing to the aforementioned issues, children in UC Bakhmal Ahmad Zai (Lakki Marwat) missed out on vaccination opportunities during the February and April 2025 immunisation campaigns, resulting in immunity gaps. In UC Saintanga, Tehsil Wazir (Bannu), no comprehensive campaign has been carried out since October 2023. Moreover, a shortage of female vaccinators and gaps in monitoring have also widened the immunity gaps. |
