Mass vaccination has eradicated the crippling disease in many parts of the world. But polio transmission and sudden outbreaks remain a challenge in large regions of the Indian subcontinent, including Pakistan and Afghanistan, as well as in west and central Africa.

India’s National Immunisation Days, dedicated to the fight against polio, began in 1995. Within two decades annual cases of the disease were down from over 3,000 to none. India was officially declared polio-free in 2014.
This film, made three years later, shows probably one of the last of these nationwide events.

But until the infection is eradicated from every population in the world, the threat of epidemics remains, thanks to global transport networks, and immunisation has to continue.
