In 1988, the World Health Organization (WHO)
Global Polio Eradication Initiative was started as the first step of
eradicating the disease from the planet. In 1995, on the same day, the
government of India started the pulse polio Immunisation Programme as the first
attempt of eradicating the disease from the country. Since then, 16 March has
been celebrated as National Vaccination Day.
National Vaccination Day is celebrated in India
on 16 March every year to raise awareness about the significance of vaccines
in the human body. The day is also used to pay tribute to the healthcare
providers who work tirelessly to ensure the vaccination of everyone. This day
is significant as it highlights the importance of vaccines in the fight against
deadly diseases. It also serves as a reminder of the crucial role played by
doctors and frontline healthcare workers in ensuring the safety and well-being
of children.
Vaccinations are a cornerstone of modern medicine,
and they have played a significant role in improving public health and
well-being worldwide. Vaccines have helped in the eradication of diseases that
were once widespread, such as smallpox and polio. They have also played a
vital role in the control of other major diseases such as influenza, pneumonia,
and cervical cancer.
