💨 Abstract

Pakistan has reported a new poliovirus case in Thatta district, Sindh, increasing the year's total to six, a setback in the country's polio eradication efforts. Sindh has reported four cases, and the rest two from other provinces. Despite rigorous vaccination programs, Pakistan, along with Afghanistan, remains the only country where polio is still prevalent, with some parents refusing vaccines due to misinformation and extremist influences.
