THE country has started another nationwide vaccination campaign to protect some 45 million children from polio after a surge in new cases that has hampered years of efforts to stop the disease in one of the two countries where it has never been eradicated.
Pakistan regularly launches such campaigns, but violence targeting the health workers and police assigned to escort them is common.
