India continues to conduct large scale immunization activities. Ten more polio cases have been reported, 2 cases of from Bihar & 8 cases from Uttar Pradesh. The total polio case count in 2007 is 139 as on August 10, 2007.
The PolioPlus Partners program has over US$2 million in project requests from the India National PolioPlus Committee to support social mobilization activities taking place through June 2008. These volunteers are working on the front lines of the battle against polio. They organize volunteers and go door-to-door to deliver the vaccine, inform parents about the need for vaccine and how to get it, and put the drops into children's mouths. In order to be successful, they need tools that require additional funding. These tools are provided through the PolioPlus Partners program.
Project requests for funding are submitted in Indian Rupee (INR). Due to fluctuating exchange rates, there is a revised project budget.
