Claim: Polio vaccine was introduced in India in 1995. Nehru, Indira and Rajiv Gandhi could not start the vaccination during their prime ministership.
Fact-check: Polio vaccine was introduced in India much before 1995 - FACTLY
Verdict: the polio vaccine was introduced in india much before 1995. it was part of the expanded programme on immunization  and universal immunization programme . so, the polio vaccination was implemented in india even during the tenures of indira  and rajiv gandhi . but the national immunization days, commonly known as the pulse polio immunization programme, were launched in india in 1995. hence the claim made in the post is misleading.
