[GEO.TV] Nearly 35,000 parents in Sindh have reportedly refused to get their children vaccinated against 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.

The Pakistain Polio Eradication Programme, in collaboration with the Expanded Program on Immunisation (EPI), had carried out a vaccination campaign in 25 districts of the province from September 1 to 7.

The latest campaign had initially targeted 2.1 million children, but a significant number of children in Sindh, particularly Karachi, remained unvaccinated, the sources said.

The insiders added that out of the total 35,000 refusals in the province, around 34,000 were reported from Karachi as parents declined to administer the vaccine to their children.

They said that highest number of refusals was reported from Karachi's East district.

''Over 8,000 parents declined to administer drops of polio vaccine to their children in District East,'' the sources revealed.

The revelation came just a day after Sindh recorded its seventh polio case of 2025, with a child in the Hyderabad district confirmed to have the poliovirus.
