QUETTA:<\/strong>\u00a0A new case of polio has been confirmed in the Kharan district of Balochistan, bringing the total number of polio cases in Pakistan this year to 15. The latest case involves a 23-month-old girl who tested positive for the poliovirus.<\/p>\n

In response to the recent spike in polio cases, the National Emergency Operations Centre (EOC) has announced a targeted polio vaccination campaign. The drive will take place from September 9 to 15 in selected districts across the country.<\/p>\n

The National EOC has urged parents to ensure their children under five years of age receive the polio vaccine during this campaign. Cooperation with polio workers is essential to prevent further spread of the virus and protect the health of young children.<\/p>\n
