For a country that many experts thought a major milestone will be the last place on earth to get rid of severe virus. Global health and other human infectious disease after smallpox to polio eradication to be facing an exciting step forward for workers.

"If all data for the next few weeks, it is more obvious for the first time from India, WHO polio as an unshaded area map will be shown on" World Health Organization's Global Polio Eradication Initiative, said the gold-turn .

"It's a great start for India for years."

But when India celebrates, global health officials are debating how to reduce the risk that vaccines containing live virus polio-free areas just can reintroduce the disease.

This time, risk and cost of a hard decision, but the fact is it being discussed polio fight is a sign of how far has come.

Serious illness

But this broad, population-wide can be prevented with vaccination.

WHO for use in certified polio immunization campaign, GlaxoSmithKline, Novartis, Sanofi-Aventis, and others made by Panacea Biotech's vaccine.

Pakistan, Afghanistan and Nigeria - India's success leaves only three countries where polio is still endemic, and may be in store for them to set an example.

"It shows that we are going to be somewhere else," said John Hewko, Chief Executive and the charity Rotary International, which has spearheaded the global fight against polio for three decades, said the president.

Since the Global Polio Eradication Initiative was launched in 1988, the 99 percent reduction in polio cases worldwide have been.

Back then 125 countries and nearly 1,000 children in endemic disease is caused by paralysis. By contrast, the whole of 2011, there were 620 cases throughout the New World.

But as the prospect of global eradication is in sight, it is a new dilemma that will be the focus of WHO's Executive Board next week brings.

Live or inactivated

Oral polio vaccine in the heart of the issue, which are highly effective, and the fact that they are cheap, are easy to grow and live polio virus strains to owe much of their success.

Have finished it already has 2 types, a three-strain vaccine called oral tOPV called a bivalent or bOPV two strain type 1 and 3 types which are being phased out in favor of conflict. But the problem remains that the live virus.

chair of the European Certification Commission and the UK Director of Immunization.

Turn is described as a tipping point. "When the risk of vaccine virus from the wild, should decide when we start to outweigh the risks," she said.

There is an option called inactivated polio vaccine, or IPV, unlike OPV but it is expensive and difficult because it is injected at the clinic by trained health workers to deliver.

The richest countries like the United States and Britain, the use of oral polio vaccine to prevent transmission and to maintain the point dealt with the issue, then switching to inactivated polio vaccine when they were sure they were beaten by the virus, Bari said.

A subsidiary of an option, or booster, adding that would be cheaper to reduce the amount of antigen in the vaccine. And therefore cheaper - IPV dose and the skin, rather than under a law that would require a few may develop a method of injection.

Urgent Task

Salisbury vaccine decision to switch to something for the future force, and in halting the worldwide polio transmission is still the most important work.

"These are very difficult decision, but we have now begun to discuss, if we did not we did not think things through in the future to the criticism," he said.

After India's success came as a huge, mostly domestically financed $ 2 billion to fight.

Last year alone, there are two different national immunization program, under the age of five, each of which 172 million children were immunized in five days.

To reach people on the move, mobile vaccination teams were sent out on the trains at railway stations and bus stands, market places and construction sites rid children.

The only case in the previous calendar year, two-year-old girl in Kolkata, West Bengal in Kolkata on January 13 was close.

"There is evidence from India, if you work well when you stop polio," Salisbury said. "And if it can be done in India, technically it can be done anywhere."
