graphic23 Posted January 18, 2009 Posted January 18, 2009 Yeah, this is actually a very significant achievement. We have been plagued by polio for far too long. There was a TV campaign recently in AP as well, asking for all the parents to get the polio vaccinations for their kids.
Guest dada_rocks Posted January 18, 2009 Posted January 18, 2009 i sud also thank maulavis for not wrecking the boat this time.. theey had been the thorn in polio eradication drive
sandtest Posted January 19, 2009 Posted January 19, 2009 A big applause. Still the Polio drop scheme needs to continue for another 5-7 years...to make sure people in remote rural villages have got their kids completely immunised, till there is no recurrence of any polio case for at least couple of years - this is important for complete eradication of Polio. Also, drawing on this experience, a nation wide programm for eradication of other curable diseases like T.B. can be implemented on same line.
