A three-day anti polio drive would start from April 15 in the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA).
However, in South and North Waziristan agencies the campaign will not be carried out due to security reasons.
According to Expanded Programme for Immunisation (EPI), FATA, a target of 700,000 children, below five years of age has been set for immunisation against the crippling disease.
More than 2,000 anti-polio teams have been formed for the purpose to immunise the tribal kids.
In SWA and NWA, the campaign might not be carried out owing to security reasons that would deprive more than 200,000 from anti-polio drops.
