In Pakistan's Union Council Serani, a polio vaccination campaign faced resistance as villagers linked immunization to education, prompting local authorities to appoint teachers to facilitate the initiative. Meanwhile, Islamabad's recent anti-polio campaign exceeded its goal, vaccinating over 497,000 children, with significant community involvement and awareness efforts enhancing participation. In Gaza, a major vaccination drive achieved a 90% coverage rate, targeting children under ten amid ongoing conflict, with plans for a second dose later this month. Despite these efforts, Pakistan continues to struggle with polio eradication due to violence against health workers and misinformation, reporting 17 cases this year alone. The situation is particularly dire in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Balochistan, where attacks on vaccinators are prevalent and distrust surrounding the vaccine endures.
