Abstract

Pakistan and Afghanistan are the only two countries left that are home to one of the world’s last (wild) polio outbreaks.In the wake of corona virus, when everything else has been in suspension so has the polio drive been halted in both Pakistan and Afghanistan. The immunisation ceased in March this year and millions of children have missed immunisation in both Pakistan and Afghanistan.
