Three women were killed and one man wounded in seperate shootings.
It was not clear who was behind the attack, but Taliban insurgents have repeatedly denounced the anti-polio immunisation campaign as a Western plot to sterilise Muslims.The team had received telephone calls warning workers they would regret helping the "infidel" campaign against polio.
Another anti-polio worker in Karachi was shot dead on Monday.
And in the northwestern city of Peshawar on Tuesday, gunmen shot a 17-year-old girl supervising an anti-polio campaign there.
She later died in hospital.
Polio attacks the nervous system and can cause permanent paralysis within hours of infection.
