Why does polio still exist in India and other places?
It's important to clarify that India has been declared polio-free since 2011, meaning no wild poliovirus cases have been reported there for over a decade. However, polio eradication efforts globally are still ongoing, as the virus remains endemic in two countries: Pakistan and Afghanistan. Here are some reasons why polio persists in these areas: Geographic challenges: Both Pakistan and Afghanistan have mountainous terrain and porous borders, making it difficult to track and vaccinate every child. Conflict and instability: Ongoing conflict in these regions disrupts immunization campaigns and hinders access to healthcare services. Vaccine hesitancy: Misinformation and mistrust of vaccines can lead to parents refusing to get their children vaccinated. Limited resources: Polio eradication is a costly endeavor, and some countries lack the necessary funding and infrastructure to reach all children. Despite these challenges, significant progress has been made in the fight against polio. Since 1988, the number of polio cases worldwide has decreased by over 99%. With continued efforts, we can achieve the goal of a polio-free world. Here are some ongoing efforts to address these challenges: Strengthening routine immunization: This is the most important way to prevent polio. By ensuring that all children receive the recommended doses of the polio vaccine, we can build up herd immunity and protect even those who are not vaccinated. Improving surveillance: This involves actively searching for cases of polio and monitoring the virus's spread. This helps to identify outbreaks early and take steps to contain them. Addressing vaccine hesitancy: Community engagement and education are essential to build trust in vaccines and address concerns. Investing in research and development: Scientists are working on new and improved polio vaccines that will be more effective and easier to administer. With continued commitment and innovation, we can one day see a world free from the devastating effects of polio.

How was Polio stopped?
Polio hasn't been completely eradicated. It is no longer in North America. However, parts of Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Nigeria are believed to still show signs of Polio. This disease can be eradicated though. To eradicate a disease, you must first stop the transmission of the virus. This means that immunizations must be given. This should mainly start with children before they are susceptible to the virus. Eventually the virus will die because it will not be allowed to transmit to another person.
