Abstract

Successful conduction of supplementary immunization activity is vital both for prevention of transmission of Wild Polio Viruses, as well as outbreaks due to importation of infection to India. The present study attempts to identify reasons that restrict parents to bring their children to polio booths on ‘Polio Sunday’, and highlights the need for concerted house-to-house ‘search and vaccinate’ activities to ensure near 100% coverage of target children to achieve the aim of Polio Free India.
