0:55Now PlayingThe CIA has ended the use of vaccine programmes in its spying operations amid concerns for the safety of health workers.
In a letter to US public health schools, a White House aide said the CIA stopped such practices in August.
The CIA reportedly used a fake vaccine programme in its effort to learn the whereabouts of Osama Bin Laden.
The CIA's move comes after deadly attacks by militants on polio vaccination workers in Pakistan.
In March, for example, at least 11 people were killed in a bomb attack on a police-guarded convoy of vaccination workers in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
More than 40 people linked to the vaccination programme have been killed since December 2012 in Pakistan, even as the country is suffering a grave resurgence of the disease.
