[00:00.10]Pakistan has ordered mandatory polio vaccinations for anyone leaving the country’s tribal northwest where the virus is concentrated.

[00:11.66]The World Health Organization has imposed international travel restrictions on anyone leaving Pakistan without proof of vaccination as of June 1.

[00:19.97]Nosherwan Khan, who owns a bus depot and belongs to the Pakistan Polio Plus committee, calls the WHO decision a wake-up call.

[00:29.28]“They have to do something, Pakistani government has to do something," said Khan.

[00:34.15]"This travel ban has come as a kind of shock to all Pakistanis, and it opened their eyes up, actually, very much."

[00:47.90]The country has the highest number of new polio cases in the world,

[00:53.98]and Pakistanis such as Sohail Qoreshi, like most people, understand the vaccine's importance.

[00:59.08]“Polio is an epidemic in Pakistan and spreading rapidly," said Qoreshi.

[01:03.57]"Our health workers have worked hard, they’ve gone house to house with the polio drops.

[01:07.48]Now they are providing the drops at bus stops."

[01:09.37]Much of the country has been inoculated, leaving the virus concentrated in Pakistan’s volatile tribal regions,

[01:16.75]where Taliban militants banned vaccination efforts in 2012, leaving many beyond the reach of health workers.

[01:23.72]World Health Organization's Nima Saeed Abid says infections will persist until vaccinations resume.

[01:32.35]“There should be a means by all parties in conflict, or all parties who have influence in this area,

[01:39.32]to sit actually and allow vaccination of these children," said Abid.

[01:44.39]"So many children have been crippled ...

[01:48.42]due to a completely avoidable disease.

[01:51.63]I mean, health is impartial and all stakeholders should understand that."

[01:59.14]There is evidence that polio from Pakistan has reached as far as Egypt and Israel.

[02:04.64]Now everyone here, including adults,

[02:07.17]must be vaccinated as the global effort to wipe out the disease focuses on the last few places where polio is still spreading.
