Polio is a severe infection that was widespread in the 80s but now, it’s a very rare condition due to vaccination programs. The disease exists only in very few countries, and the chances of developing one in India are very unlikely.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Polio in India<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n

India doesn’t have any polio cases since January 2011, and there is no evidence of the condition circulating in the community. Thanks to OPV (oral polio vaccine), India is now “Polio-Free,” and displayed as a success story of the Global Polio Eradication Initiative, launched in 1988 by the World Health Assembly.<\/span><\/p>\n

But still, India faces the threat of importation of polio virus from countries that are reporting cases. <\/span><\/p>\n
