   The polio vaccine program is one of the success stories of recent times.   
      
   There are now just 3 countries where any active infections are being   
   reported.   
      
   Until this year india was also on that list.  It was long considered a   
   hotspot for infections.   
      
   It has now been declared polio free due to its aggressive vaccine program   
   in recent yyears..   
      
   It was only a few decades ago that polio infections were widely reported in   
   almost all countries.  The difference is the introduction of effectivd   
   vaccines in the '50's.  Instantly the level of infections began to drop and   
   untold numbers of hundreds of thousands of children were spared.
