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.
Families are being urged to ensure that all children under the age of five receive the polio vaccine, as part of ongoing efforts to eliminate the virus.
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.
