Polio has hit Afghanistan and a few other middle eastern countries and still remains the only country with the polio endemic. Afghanistan has started some major pushes to stop the spread of this horrible disease. You must be vaccinated a month prior to entering the country especially if you are entering from Pakistan. This disease is high contagious and is serverlly deadly. If everyone was to follow the correct saftey meassures, they might be able to erradicate this horrible diease just like we did in the United States. Many people don’t believe in vaccines and that could be a major reason it is still around today.
