LAHORE : As fog blankets Lahore, a polio team is locked in an engrossing conversation with a mother at a huge compound inhabited by a community from Pakhtunkhwa in Union Council 99, trying to convince her to vaccinate her children.
“Are there any children less than five in the house,” asks the polio team behind the locked door. “Yes. But we cannot vaccinate children unless male members of the house are back from work”, responds a woman behind the door. The polio team insisted on vaccination but the female behind the door remained reluctant.
