ISLAMABAD Despite intense efforts by the government to eradicate the disease, there have been two new instances of the polio virus confirmed in Pakistan, bringing the nation’s annual total to 26 cases.
Children under five years old are primarily affected by polio, a highly contagious disease caused by a virus. These children are malnourished or have weakened immune systems as a result of receiving insufficient or no vaccinations against polio and other childhood illnesses.
When the sickness infiltrates the nerve system, it can result in death or paralysis. The best method to shield kids from the debilitating disease polio is by vaccination, even if there is currently no cure for it.
The nation’s attempts to combat polio have suffered a serious setback due to the viral outbreak.
