Pulse Polio Immunisation Programme
The three-day National Immunisation Day or the Pulse Polio Immunisation Programme is conducted twice a year. It usually begins on a Sunday, known as Polio Ravivar. During this drive, polio drops are given to children between the age group of 0 to 5 years. President Ram Nath Kovind is to launch this programme on 31st January 2021. It was earlier scheduled to be held on January 17 but was postponed due to COVID-19 vaccination drive.
