Karachi (HRNW) The Sindh Emergency Operation Centre for Polio confirmed on Monday one new polio case from Karachi, taking the provincial tally to 19 this year.
A 60-month male child in Landhi UC-1 was diagnosed with the polio virus after developing weakness in his left upper and lower limb. He had received the anti-polio vaccine on multiple occasions, according to parents. But the routine immunisation card showed zero doses. An investigation into the claims is ongoing.
The Sindh government launched successive anti-polio campaigns from December 2019 to March 2020 that went a long way to put the anti-polio programme back on track, an EOC spokesperson said.
