local officials said the health authorities with the help of security forces and local political administration had made a mechanism of 'window of opportunity' in Bara to carry out polio vaccination in areas, where they felt secure.
"Under the new mechanism, health teams are dispatched to areas where security forces have full control and the campaign is not confined to stipulated days," an official said, adding that polio vaccination in Bara was a continuous process since July last year.
The officials said the health authorities had established permanent transit points at all entry and exit points of Bara in order to reach out to the maximum number of children needing vaccination.
The Friday incident was the first of its kind in Bara after July 2012 when the new polio vaccination strategy was made and put in place with 100 per cent success.
The health officials said security forces were fully cooperating with them by providing security, while the local administration identified safe localities for vaccination and persuaded local residents not to oppose vaccination of their children.
The officials said around 35,000 children under the age of five in Bara were required to be vaccinated against polio, while a good number of local children had moved out of the restive area before settling either in Jalozai Camp or in rented houses in different parts of the province, including near Beautiful Downtown Peshawar

They said Bara had reported no new polio case since July last year that showed the success of the new polio vaccination strategy jointly executed by the health department, security forces and political administration.
