At least 55 people were arrested for refusing to administer anti-polio vaccine to their children during the anti-polio immunisation campaign here on Sunday.
The Peshawar deputy commissioner (DC) said that during the anti-polio vaccination campaign in different areas of the provincial capital, 55 parents who denied to vaccinate their children were detained.
He said the detainees have been sent to jail. “Those who will refuse to vaccinate their children or interrupt the immunization campaign would have to face severe punishment,” the DC warned.
