Radical islamic militants are preventing that from happening by attacking clinics, health workers, and police who travel with vaccinators to orally administer the antidote to children.

Earlier this month in northern Nigeria armed men linked to Islamist extremist group Boko Haram killed nine people at a clinic after a local cleric denounced polio vaccination campaigns and local radio programs saying the campaigns are part of a foreign plot to sterilize Muslims.
