The World Health Organization (WHO) has been working to eradicate polio for nearly 40 years, achieving a 99% reduction in cases. However, challenges persist in Afghanistan and Pakistan due to mismanagement, cultural barriers, and issues with the oral vaccine. Internal reports reveal problems such as falsified vaccination records and untrained workers. Critics argue for a strategy revision, while some scientists call for the oral vaccine to be replaced. Despite significant funding, progress remains limited, and misinformation about vaccines continues to hinder efforts.
