Armed attack on polio vaccination team in Pakistan: 2 police officers killed
Two police officers lost their lives following an armed attack on health workers conducting a vaccination campaign in Pakistan's Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province.
Polio cases continue to be seen in Afghanistan and Pakistan, where access to vaccines is limited. Effective vaccination campaigns are being carried out to prevent this.
An armed attack was carried out against a team conducting polio vaccinations in the Orakzai district of Pakistan's Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province.
Two police officers providing security for the vaccination team lost their lives. Three attackers were killed in the ensuing clash, and one was taken into custody.
Frequent attacks on health workers in Pakistan continue to disrupt vaccination campaigns.
Pakistan launched a polio vaccination campaign in September and announced that 30 million children would be vaccinated.
