It is a sad news that polio patients have been found in Pakistan and Afghanistan in 2016. When most of the countries are declaring polio-free, such a news is really concerning. We know that polio has no remedy and only vaccination in childhood can prevent it. Polio vaccination is hindered in the two reported countries time to time by militants. As a result, these two countries are still not polio-free. NDTV reported on 6th February, 2016 that Pakistan confirmed a polio case in January 2016. Pakistan reported 54 cases in 2015 according to NDTV. Pakistan and Afghanistan share a long border and children living on the border are deprived of vaccines and for this reason, vaccination campaigns fail in those areas.
