A health department worker applies a polio vaccine dose to a child in Peshawar, Pakistan, 31 May 2012. Reports state that the World Health Organization (WHO) has warned that if Pakistani authorities failed to contain the Polio virus, then several countries would be compelled to impose travel and visa restrictions to make sure that the virus do not spread to their countries. Polio cases over last month has taken the country's total number of poliomyelitis-affected children to five in 2012, officials said. Most of the 198 cases recorded in 2011 were notified in the north western part of the country where local religious clerics and pro-Taliban lobby are reportedly trying to convince residents that the US-manufactured polio drops were designed to sterilize Pakistanis and reduce the Muslim population.
