Dear Shweta ji
Thank you for appreciating my education. Yes Immunisation was a paper for my "Preventive medicine" some decades ago, but thanks to you I looked at the Indian scenario again in detail, and assuredly the political cocoon holds a beautiful butterfly.
1/n
The Pulse Polio Immunization Programme was rolled out in India on 2 October 1994, when India accounted for around 60% of the global polio cases. The last polio case in India was reported a decade ago in Howrah on 13 January 2011, and the country has been free of polio.
2/n
National Immunization Days (NIDs) for polio eradication in India were conducted on Dec 9, 1995 and Jan 20, 1996. Children up to 3 yr age targeted and 87 million children covered. The target age was increased to 5 years in the next year and about125 million children vacinated.
