Polio immunization remains one of India’s most important child health programmes. Even though India was declared polio-free in 2014, regular preventive campaigns continue to protect children under 5 years from poliovirus. In 2025, the Government of India and the Hyderabad Municipal Corporation are organizing polio immunization days across the city, with designated Polio Drops Centres where children can receive free polio vaccine drops.
What Are Polio Drops
Polio drops are a safe and effective oral vaccine given to children to protect them from polio (poliomyelitis), a viral disease that can cause permanent paralysis or even death. These drops help strengthen children’s immunity and prevent the spread of the poliovirus in the community.
