273,000 Health Workers, One Week, 28.2 Million Children: Pakistan's Door-to-Door Polio Drive

Between 21 and 27 September, Pakistan ran a weeklong polio vaccination drive in which 273,000 frontline health workers went door to door across the country and immunised more than 28.2 million children under five. The campaign was part of Pakistan's ongoing effort to eliminate polio, one of the last two countries where the virus remains endemic. Workers visited homes and community sites to reach children who had missed routine doses.
