Islamabad: Pakistani authorities have targeted 40 million children in the first nationwide polio vaccination drive of the year that began on Monday amid fears of an resurgence.
More than 250,000 health workers would be on the streets throughout the week to vaccinate children under the age of five, Pakistan’s health chief Zafar Mirza said. Thousands of police and paramilitary soldiers would guard health workers in regions where they are routinely attacked by Islamist militants. (DPA)
