Answer

Pulse Polio Programme: Pulse polio immunization programme forms the largest single day public health project. Pulse means a dose of a substance (here polio vaccine) especially when applied for a short period of time. It was conducted for the first time in $1995.$ The program uses oral polio vaccine or $OPV.$ As per the National Immunization Schedule $(NIS),$ a dose of $3$ drops is given orally to the child, i.e. one dose each at $1.5, 2.5$ and $3.5$ month’s age. Finally a booster dose is given at the age of $1.5$ years. After oral administration, virus particles in the vaccine begin to live in the intestine of the human body and multiply. It leads to production of protective molecules in the intestine and the blood.
