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 poliomyelitis through a large-scale, pulse vaccination programme and monitoring for polio cases.
Tamil Nadu will hold a pulse polio immunisation camp on March 10 as part of a nationwide campaign. In 2019, Tamil Nadu is stepping into the 15th polio-free year. Hence, Pulse Polio is an example of a vaccination program by the government.
