Polio vaccination campaign launched in Afghanistan

Polio-Free Afghanistan has announced the launch of a new polio vaccination campaign aimed at protecting children across the country. 

The campaign will start on Monday, according to an announcement shared by the organization on X on Sunday.

Earlier this year, the first positive case of polio in 2025 was reported in Badghis province.

Afghanistan, along with neighboring Pakistan, remains one of the last two countries in the world where polio has yet to be eradicated.
