Pakistan is one of the handful of countries where polio is still prevalent. A combination of poor delivery systems and superstitions arising out of religion-induced taboo is to blame for the problem.
The latest anti-polio campaign in Pakistan was no different as more than 62,000 families refused to vaccinate their children.
The highest number of refusals was registered in the Sindh province of Pakistan, where a total of 37,008 households refused to allow their children to take the polio vaccine.
