Sindh has been the most affected by typhoid with 10,000 cases been documented since 2017.

The World Health Organization (WHO) approved a vaccine that will be used during a two-week immunization campaign in Southern Sindh province.

Azra Pechuho, the health minister in Sindh province, said in Karachi on Friday,

 

“The two-week campaign beginning from today would target over 10 million children of nine months to 15 years of age.”
