National Pulse Polio Campaign Begins June 28 Across Multiple Indian DistrictsPreviousNext

The National Pulse Polio immunisation campaign will be conducted across multiple Indian districts, including Udupi, Erode, Mysuru, Kerala, and Ludhiana, from June 28 with follow-up house-to-house visits extending up to July 4 in some areas. The drive targets children under five years, with millions identified for vaccination. Authorities have set up thousands of booths, transit points, and mobile teams, deploying tens of thousands of health workers and supervisors. Officials urge parents to ensure all eligible children receive polio drops to maintain immunisation coverage and support India's polio-free status.
