Pakistan News: Pakistan’s Economic Center and Sindh’s capital Karachi is at the top of the list of Pakistani cities refusing to give polio vaccine, where families refused to feed their children during the anti -polio virus operations. These worrying figures were told by the country’s federal health minister Mustafa Kamal. He said that 85 percent of the families refused to give their children a dose of polio virus.
The main reason for this is misconceptions and rumors. Such as the side effects of the vaccine or not being safe. Apart from this, lack of awareness in some areas and socio-economic challenges are also increasing this problem. The Government of Pakistan has launched a comprehensive vaccination campaign to improve this situation and is trying to make people aware of the importance of vaccine.
44000 families refused to feed children polio
Addressing a press conference in Karachi, Kamal revealed that at least 44000 families in Pakistan have refused to give their children a dose of polio virus vaccine. He said, “At this time, in Pakistan, there are 44,000 denial cases, of which Karachi alone has 34,000. It is 85 to 90 percent figure. I have come to explain that it is a crime to not get your children vaccinated. “
Campaign is also going on in Afghanistan
Kamal highlighted that cases of refusal of polio dosage in Pakistan are a big challenge. Similar to Pakistan, an anti-polio vaccination campaign is going on in Afghanistan and this is a much larger program. Kamal said, “This is the first time that polio vaccination campaign is being conducted simultaneously in both Afghanistan and Pakistan. Taliban is sending teams from house to house to vaccinate children. Their program is bigger than our program. He is vaccinating children in Afghanistan and they will eradicate the virus in a few years. Drink polio medicine to children. “
Polio virus still present in both countries
Pakistan and Afghanistan are the only countries in the world where polio virus is still present. One reason for the presence of the virus is that people refuse to get their children vaccinated. Polio health workers have also been victims of targeted murders and attacks by terrorist groups. Kamal announced that another nationwide polio vaccination campaign would start from April 21, in which at least 4,15,000 polio workers will participate. He urged the citizens to respect and cooperate with them. He urged, “Please respect them as they are trying to protect your children’s future.”
