As of June 1, Pakistan will require everyone leaving the country to get a polio vaccination, the Health Ministry said Tuesday. The World Health Organization declared the spread of polio an international public health emergency this month and identified Pakistan, Syria and Cameroon as having allowed the virus to spread beyond their borders. Pakistani officials said all provinces had been given the necessary guidance and materials to set up special counters at hospitals and airports for polio vaccination and certification.
