Dr. Pathak, I agree with your view completely. yes it is still small number of population which is actually affected. I agree with your view of getting vaccine only to population at risk such as health care workers, & sex workers, & IV drug abusers. But the problem is lack of information & understanding in rural population which does cover ~70% population. Medical practices there donot obey sterilization techniques, putting the population at risk. Because of the serious & costly complications I still agree with immunization for children. The important fact about immunization that article did not talked about is, some poeple cannot develop immunity even after full immunisation. I hope you share some of my views. Regards Dr. Rahul
