good news

That is really wonderful news but I am not sure. Our health department is expert in fabricating data. Because I know a few case were reported in NCR region recently but they did not register them.

WHO decleared this and there is no negative report in India for last one year.

I know this because some one very close to me is in-charge of Pulse Polio operation of that particular region of W.UP.This is not an official report.

Wow but the report i think is dubious as many cases of polio still exist in villages but they are never reported. :(

Yes you may be right and I think they are saying about further new case that means no further new case have not been found.

I gave my daughter Polio dip last Sunday. Next is on March or April. Here, every mother gave importance to this.
If we miss it due to some reason, next day, people will come from Panchayat and they will give it. So, no need to worry. :)

All parents should be careful to it up to five years of age.

yes we should take of our kids alot, but some parents never care their kids.I wish they atleast take care to get polio drops

That's really great. As per few replies above, some cases are not getting reported.. Hope India will able to get rid of it completely.

I think, next dose in the next month for my kid :)

Being polio free does not mean that there is not or there is not likely even a single case. This only means that Polio is no more alarming and cases if any would be exceptional and situation is well under control. This is like removing a patient from ICU to normal ward.

So , can't we say it's 100% polio-free? :(

Nobody can any time vouch for 100%. Polio free means that there is no 'epidemic'. Once, Malaria was a matter of grave concern. As a child, i remember that there was big campaign. Later Malaria was controlled and campaign ended. But even then there could be some cases of malaria.
