Polio Endgame: How India Beat the Monster

Abstract

India has had an incredible journey of becoming polio-free in a span of two decades. The conventional vaccination strategies and innovative approaches to ensure that every child in the remotest of the villages of India gets immunized have been an achievement in itself. The year 2020 marks six years of living a dream that a sprawling country like India had harboured for long, and the efforts to keep the country polio-free need to continue until this dreadful disease gets eradicated globally.
