Pakistan. The Polio Emergency

Description

If the polio virus was all but wiped out during the 1980s, why has Pakistan become a polio hotspot? And why are vaccinators risking their own lives to administer preventative drops? In Pakistan, Foreign Correspondent's Michael Edwards investigates why there is suspicion and hostility against the polio eradication program, which is being fanned by religious extremists including the Taliban.
