2019-10-16 |
[DAWN] The Council of Islamic Ideology (CII) has validated around a hundred fatwas, also known as religious edicts, in support of polio![]() vaccination, sparking hopes that religion-based resistance against vaccinations will decrease. According to a CII document available with Dawn, the council’s apex body unanimously decided to ratify fatwas by Learned Elders of Islam in support of polio eradication. The document said that the CII was concerned that Pakistain was facing travel restrictions due to polio cases, and could face further financial problems in the future as such restrictions could be increased. Babar Bin Atta, the prime minister’s focal person on polio, told Dawn that this was the first time the government tried to seek the CII’s help in controlling the polio virus.
