World Polio Day

On World Polio Day, we come together to raise awareness about polio and the ongoing global efforts to eradicate this devastating disease. Thanks to vaccines, polio cases have been reduced by over 99% since 1988, but the fight isn't over yet. Polio can still affect children in certain parts of the world, but with continued dedication and support, we can protect every child. Join us in celebrating the progress made and reaffirming our commitment to a polio-free world. Together, we can end polio for good.

Parents In Pakistan To Face Fine, Jail Term For Refusing Polio Vaccination To Children

In Pakistan's Sindh province, a new law has been enacted, mandating consequences for parents who refuse to have their children vaccinated, including against polio. Under this legislation, parents who decline vaccination could potentially face imprisonment for up to one month, in addition to fines amounting to 50,000 Pakistani rupees (Rs 13,487).The primary objective of this law is to combat the endemic issue of polio in Pakistan, although it also encompasses vaccines for other infectious diseases like diphtheria, tetanus, whooping cough (pertussis), measles, mumps, and rubella.This law, which was signed last week, is scheduled to be enforced starting this month. Shazia Marri, a former federal minister specializing in poverty alleviation and social safety from Sindh, emphasized that this law will serve as a deterrent to address vaccination refusal and is part of a broader effort to completely eradicate the polio virus from Pakistan.Pakistan has faced persistent challenges in eliminating polio, and it remains one of the last two countries, along with Afghanistan, where the disease is still considered endemic.It's worth noting that Pakistan has grappled with deeply ingrained anti-vaccination sentiments, fueled by myths suggesting that polio vaccination campaigns are linked to espionage or a conspiracy to sterilize the population.
