–Total number of cases in country at 77, KP leads with 57 victimsPESHAWAR: The total number of polio cases in the country has touched 77 after an infant was tested positive in Lakki Marwat district of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. The child had received a zero dose for essential immunisation nor did he receive any inactivated polio vaccine. KP leads the number of polio cases with 57. Sindh followed with eight cases, where the number of cases in Balochistan was seven this year. One of the reasons is the increased resistance towards vaccination drives and violence against polio workers in the province as compared to the rest of the country.
