Global Health
Anti-Polio Campaign Reboot
M. J. Friedrich

Excerpt
Pakistan has reinstated its polio vaccination efforts in the northwest area of the country, with tighter security measures to prevent attacks against health workers who provide the vaccinations (http://tinyurl.com/alladv9).

In December, deadly assaults on vaccination workers in Pakistan brought a halt to the country’s polio immunizations efforts. In January, Pakistani police arrested several Taliban members suspected of carrying out the killings (http://tinyurl.com/awuk8fw). With paramilitary and police support for the workers, vaccination efforts have recommenced in Sindh province, with hopes of resuming the nationwide effort.
