This occurs after President Ram Nath Kovind began the National Polio Immunisation Drive for 2021 by supplying polio drops to children less than five years old at Rashtrapati Bhawan on January 30. According to the Union Ministry of Health, India has been free of polio for the last 10 years, with the last case of wild poliovirus recorded on 13 January 2011. The nation, though, remains to persist vigilant to avert re-entry of the poliovirus into the nation from neighboring countries of Afghanistan and Pakistan, where wild poliovirus remains to induce disease.
