Why is World Polio Day Celebrated?

Benefits of Polio Drops
Dr. Arora explained that polio drops are the most effective way to protect children from polio. These drops are safe, easy to administer, and have played a vital role in reducing polio cases worldwide. Regular vaccination campaigns ensure that every child receives the necessary protection, preventing potential outbreaks in the future.
Importance of Polio Drops for Children
