KHYBER: The palsy vaccination team was attacked by armed attackers during the inoculation of the Khyber Pakhyberkhwa drives in the Khyber district, resulting in security. The inoculation of the team was attacked in the Bakarabad area on the first day of the campaign against the Polio virus, which was started this morning throughout the country. Fortunately, the workers from child palsy remained safe in the attack, but the policeman assigned to their safety was tortured. The police said the attackers managed to escape after the attack while the vaccination unit was suspended in this area. The cop was identified as the constable of Abdul Khaliq. After receiving information about the incident, a heavy police contingent arrived and ended the area in the jurisdiction of the Jamrudabad police station. The checkpoints were also set up at various places to detain terrorists, the police said. An official of the medical department, who spoke of the state of anonymity, confirmed that the vaccination team in pediatrics was rejected from the Bakarabad area and the campaign was postponed there. Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif launched a seven -day anti -alien campaign across the country, the first this year. The campaign is attended by a total of 945 Fig. Meanwhile, vaccination units against fields in different parts of Pandjab, KP, Sindu and Balocistan began. But the campaign in Quetta will begin tomorrow. In the inauguration of the Prime Minister’s campaign, he re -confirmed the determination of his government to remove the paralyzed illness from the country. He said that national vaccination against pediatrics will focus on millions of children in the country to save their future and health. Pakistan and neighboring Afghanistan are the only countries where endemic polio remains and vaccination teams often get under the attack, sometimes also leading to the death of child palsy and security staff. Last year, the country recorded an alarming increase in cases of child palsy, recorded 77 cases compared to six in 2023. Polio can easily prevent oral administration of a few drops of vaccines, but the strict efforts of the authorities to eradicate child palsy face significant challenges, especially in areas where uncertainty, misinformation and rejection of parents will prevent vaccination campaign. The score of vaccination workers in children’s childhood polio and their accompaniment has been killed over the years in similar attacks.
