    The document discusses two questions about polio in India. For the first question, the main reasons for the resurgence of polio in 2002 were insufficient vaccination coverage through routine programs and campaigns, fewer vaccination campaigns targeting high-risk areas, and hundreds of thousands of children being missed during campaigns. For the second question, Banerjee and Andrus's strategy involved securing support from national politicians and funding, as well as implementing supplemental vaccination programs nationwide.

    1. What is the reason for resurgence of polio in 2002?

    Ans:
    • The main reason for continued transmission is insufficient OPV coverage through routine vaccination
    and SIAs.
    • during 1999--2002, the number of NIDs/SNIDs decreased. The majority of districts in eastern and
    central UP were not targeted, leaving this area at high risk. Finally, a substantial number of children
    were missed during SIA rounds.
    • SIA monitoring data in western UP during June--August 2002 indicated that house-to-house teams
    failed to vaccinate children in <15% of houses in some districts. This suggests that hundreds of
    thousands of children were missed in areas where high population density
    • Surveillance data indicate that UP is the primary area in India with continuing poliovirus transmission.
    • After Banerjee & Andrew’s left, their plan for eliminating the polio from India didn’t followed by
    Indian Government. That needed the government’s renewed campaign.

    2. What were Banerjee & Andrus strategy & tactics for eliminating polio in India.

    Ans:

    • Banerjee and Andrus tried to use the contact and power of National politician of India to
    immunization.
    • In April 1995 Banerjee scheduled a meeting with India’s Minister of Health to discuss starting national
    SIAs. To secure this meeting, Banerjee had to go around his supervisor, the Deputy Commissioner.
    • The Minister of Health and Prime Minister agreed to back Banerjee’s proposal and gave him USD 15
    million to fund supplementary SIAs against polio.
    • Banerjee and Andrus next tried to secure the support of various state and local government officials
    through letters about what the program was and how they could help.
    • Banerjee and Andrus set about implementing supplementary immunization programs throughout
    India.
