Polio virus confirmed in environmental samples of Peshawar
Polio virus has been confirmed in the environmental samples of different areas of Peshawar.
According to the health department, the polio virus is present in Karkoor, Shaheen Town and Tajabad.
The reason for the presence of the virus is the arrival of people from different areas to Peshawar.
A five-day anti-polio campaign has been launched in Chitral, Upper Dir and Lower Dir, in which more than three lakh children will be administered the polio vaccine.
It should be noted that no case of polio has been reported in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa this year.
However, four cases were reported in the province last year
