Pulse Polio is an immunisation campaign established by the government of India to eliminate poliomyelitis (polio) in India by vaccinating all children under the age of five years against the polio virus. The project fights polio through a large-scale, pulse vaccination programme and monitoring for poliomyelitis cases. History In India, vaccination against polio started in around 1972 with Expanded Programme on Immunization (EPI). By 1999, it covered around 60% of infants, giving three doses of OPV to each. In 1985, the Universal Immunization Programme (UIP) was launched to cover all the districts of the country. UIP became a part of child survival and safe motherhood program (CSSM) in 1992 and Reproductive and Child Health Program (RCH) in 1997 . This program led to a significant increase in coverage, up to 5%. The number of reported cases of polio also declined from thousands during 1987 to 42 in 2010. In 1995, following the Global Polio Eradication Initiative of the World Health Organization (1988), India launched Pulse Polio immunization program with Universal Immunization Program which aimed at 100% coverage. The last reported cases of wild polio in India were in West Bengal and Gujarat on 13 January 2011. On 27 March 2014, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared India a polio free country, since no cases of wild polio been reported in for five years. Preventive Pulse Polio The Pulse Polio Immunization (PPI) aims at covering every individual in the country. It aspires to reach even children in remote communities through an improved social mobilisation plan. Not a single child should miss the immunization and leaving no chance of polio occurrence. Cases of acute flaccid paralysis (AFP) to be reported in time and stool specimens of them to be collected within 14 days. Outbreak response immunisation (ORI) to be conducted as early as possible. Maintaining a high level of surveillance. Performance of good mop-up operations where polio has disappeared. Steps involved Set up of booths in all parts of the country. Initialising walk-in cold rooms, freezer rooms, deep freezers, ice-lined refrigerators and cold boxes for a steady supply of vaccine to booths. Arranging employees, volunteers, and vaccines. Ensuring vaccine vial monitor on each vaccine vial. Immunising children with OPV on national immunisation days. Identifying missing children from immunisation process. Surveillance of efficacy. Publicity was extensive and included replacing the national telecoms' authority ringtone with a vaccination day awareness message, posters, TV and
