The development comes as Pakistan continues efforts to contain polio cases in high-risk areas. Earlier this month, two new polio cases were reported from Bannu and North Waziristan, raising the country’s total number of cases this year to three.
According to sources at the National Institute of Health, one case emerged from Jani Khel in Bannu, while the second was reported from Gariom in North Waziristan.
Officials said polio vaccination campaigns remain suspended in some union councils due to security concerns, making several areas inaccessible to vaccination teams.
