Abstract:
Polio is an acute viral disease that is still endemic in Pakistan. The polio vaccination program is facing many challenges that result in an increased number of new cases. The success of polio vaccination has been threatened in different parts of Pakistan. In the past, the immunization program was affected by different factors including insecurity, inducing mass migration and displacement, life threats to polio workers, and restricted access to the vulnerable population. Misconceptions and misunderstanding about the polio vaccine are a major obstacle in polio eradication which need to be erased by organized effects of increasing vaccine awareness.
