The union Health Ministry has identified 290 districts across India for this special drive, focusing on regions that witness frequent movement of people from countries where polio cases are still being reported, such as Bangladesh and Pakistan. Telangana’s inclusion of six districts follows this precautionary strategy.
According to health officials, an estimated 17,56,789 children under the age of five in these districts will be administered the oral polio vaccine during the drive.
