How often do you go for blood tests? Not many people do that unless they find any symptom which requires your blood test to be done! Hardly 5% of the population goes for regular blood tests! Why is that so? isn’t it important to get it done? It is but either there is some time constraint or people are lazy to do that! India has now been declared as polio free country! There are no new cases which has been detected in the years! How has this happened? Because people have finally realized the importance of the vaccination! The credit goes to our government! Their hard work and their awareness strategies has paid off!
In Delhi, free polio vaccination booths are organised every two months and it is made sure that every child is given the vaccination.It sometimes happens that parents could not make it to the booths because of some genuine reason. So that doesn’t mean that their child will not get vaccination for that particular month! Government has made door to door service available! The social workers visit every house and check if there is any child who has not got the vaccination.
There is a black ink mark which is being applied on a child’s hand which proves that the child is given the vaccination for polio! The government is striving hard to get rid of polio and they finally have succeeded! Nothing is attained individually…everyone has to work for it! If awareness programs are being organised one should make sure that they attend that program. This motivation has to come from within and no one can force anyone on this! By - Trishala
