Pakistan’s Final Polio Drive of 2025: Help Protect Children from Polio
Pakistan launched its vital final national polio campaign of 2025. This week-long effort began on December 15. The goal is simple: protect children from polio. Polio remains endemic in just two countries globally. Pakistan is one of these two nations, alongside Afghanistan. This final campaign is an absolutely crucial step.
Over 45 million children need vaccination across the country. More than 400,000 dedicated frontline workers are participating. They go door-to-door to deliver the essential two drops of oral vaccine. Therefore, this mission requires immense collective support.
Join the Fight Against Polio
Officials have noted a decline in polio cases this year. However, the virus still poses a significant threat. Around 30 children will contract the disease in 2025. Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province reported the highest number of cases. Furthermore, officials emphasize that only vaccination can fully eradicate the disease.
Parents and caregivers must ensure their children are safe. Please welcome the vaccination teams into your homes. Every single child under the age of five needs these drops. For example, security personnel are deployed nationwide to protect the workers. This shows the government’s unwavering commitment. We must unite to finally stop this virus. Let us secure a polio-free future for all of Pakistan’s children.
