Why Pakistan is not polio free
Can the forces opposing Pakistan鈥檚 polio vaccination programme finally be overcome?
In Pakistan, attempts to eradicate polio stalled when the vaccination programme became tangled in international politics, religious decrees and social media scare stories. Vaccination workers have been attacked and even killed. 大象传媒 Urdu鈥檚 Shumaila Jaffery met vaccination workers, parents, and clerics for a 大象传媒 World Service series, "Vaccines: A Crisis of Trust".
