- The attack took place when hundreds of polio teams were vaccinating children.
Rescue officials say the slain workers were a mother and her daughter.
There was no immediate claim of responsibility.
Pakistan, Afghanistan and Nigeria are the only three countries in the world where polio hasn't been eliminated.
Pakistan regularly launches anti-polio drives despite threats from the Taleban, who perceive the campaign as part of a Western conspiracy and claim it will sterilize Pakistani children.
