Bad news for Pakistanis travelling abroad

Certainly, here's a more detailed explanation: Travelers originating from Pakistan and heading to Egypt are now subject to a new requirement – they must possess a polio vaccination certificate.
This directive has been introduced by the Pakistan Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) and is outlined in comprehensive guidelines available on the CAA's official website. The CAA's guidelines explicitly state that individuals traveling from Pakistan to Egypt are obligated to carry an internationally recognized polio vaccination certificate.
This certificate confirms that the traveler has received the necessary vaccination against polio. Importantly, both oral polio vaccine (OPV) and inactivated polio vaccine (IPV) are considered acceptable for meeting this requirement.
It's essential to emphasize that Egypt has implemented this mandatory polio vaccination regulation specifically for travelers arriving from several countries, including Pakistan. The countries covered by this requirement also include Afghanistan, Malawi, Mozambique, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
Travelers planning trips from Pakistan to Egypt should take note of this new obligation and ensure they have the appropriate polio vaccination documentation to facilitate their travel and entry into Egypt, in compliance with the country's health and safety protocols.
