Afghanistan Launches First Nationwide Polio Vaccination Campaign of 2026

According to the ‘Afghanistan Polio-Free’ page, a new polio vaccination campaign is set to begin next Monday, the 13th of Dalw, in several areas across the country. The announcement stated that this program will be implemented in various regions with the aim of delivering the polio vaccine to eligible children within the specified timeframe. This campaign marks the first nationwide polio vaccination effort in Afghanistan in 2026, a year in which ongoing efforts to curb this paralyzing disease remain dependent on regular and unhindered access of families to health services.
